Amendment 1—Rebecca Evans

Delete all after Point 1 and replace with:

Commends the record of successive Welsh Governments since 1999 in developing effective social partnership structures with trades unions and business in Wales.

Notes this approach has helped deliver tangible rights for workers in Wales through the Trade Union (Wales) Act and the Agricultural Wages Order which have overturned UK Government legislation.

Welcomes the actions developed through social partnership by the Welsh Government to eliminate exploitative zero hours contracts in Wales and the work it has done through the Code of Practice on Ethical Employment in Supply Chains.

Recognises the Welsh Government’s commitment to make Wales a Fair Work nation.

Notes the Welsh Government’s commitment to develop a Social Partnership Act and to introduce it in this Assembly term.

Calls on the UK Government to ensure that as we leave the EU it commits to dynamic and legally binding standards on the protection and enforcement of fair work across the UK.
