Farage criticised for claim workers’ rights bill could spell end of pub banter

Paul Nowak, said: “Nobody should be abused while doing their job, but sadly we have seen a rise in violent abuse and harassment of people like shopworkers, NHS workers and many other public facing staff.
“This measure is about ensuring employers take reasonable steps to protect workers from aggressive customers. Punters will still be able to talk freely in pubs – and the EHRC has helpfully clarified that employers must not misinterpret the law.
“Nigel Farage is promising the same broken status quo – not the economic reset working people desperately need. Reform has no plan for workers and Nigel Farage is no friend of working people – he’s on the side of bad bosses, zero-hours contracts and fire-and-rehire.”
