Working parents … a helping hand - a guide to the rights and benefits for working parents

Find out what Labour has done to help parents at work and how you can help Usdaw to campaign for even better rights.

Rights for parents a work

All working parents have rights to help them balance their work with caring for their children. Make sure you and your children don't miss out - download the leaflet for further details.

These rights are the legal minimums. Your union may have negotiated better rights with your employer. Check your staff handbook for details. To help get your rights, contact your union rep or ring the TUC Know Your Rights line on 0870 600 4882.

Make sure you get your rights - join a union

The best way to ensure your employer respects your rights at work is to join a trade union. Your employer cannot prevent you from joining a trade union, or from carrying out trade union activities.

Trade unions such as Usdaw can offer you lots of help and advice on getting all your rights at work, as well as free expert legal services if you have an accident or injury at work, or if you suffer from a work-related illness.

Staff represented by a trade union are more likely to have better wages and conditions than those who aren't.
