We need to show Lords and MPs from every party how many of us back this Bill and demand they pass it without watering it down.

But all of this is at risk. The Bill is now in the House of Lords, and Tory peers are preparing to water it down.
Add your name now to demand the Employment Rights Bill is passed - in full, and without delay.
