Об эпизоде

<p>This episode takes you inside <strong>10 Downing Street</strong> for a rare, direct conversation on power, policy, and dignity at work.</p><p><strong>Marvyn Harrison</strong> meets <strong>Keir Starmer</strong> to unpack the <strong>Employment Rights Act 2025 (ERA 2025)</strong> — described as the biggest upgrade to workers’ rights in a generation.</p><p>We break down what ERA 2025 actually delivers:</p><p> Fire-and-rehire restrictions.</p><p> The end of exploitative zero-hour contracts.</p><p> Day-one sick pay.</p><p> Day-one paternity, bereavement, and parental leave.</p><p> New protections for pregnant women, new mothers, and families experiencing pregnancy loss.</p><p>But this episode goes deeper than legislation. It asks who benefits, who is most exposed, and whether Black and working-class families will finally see real protection — or more policy without teeth.</p><p>This is not spin.</p><p> This is not press-release politics.</p><p> This is a frontline conversation about labour, power, enforcement, and dignity.</p><p><strong>Key Themes</strong></p><p> • Employment Rights Act 2025 explained</p><p> • Kier Starmer on workers’ rights</p><p> • ERA 2025 impact on Black families</p><p> • Working-class job insecurity</p><p> • Zero-hour contracts and fire-and-rehire</p><p> • Paternity leave, sick pay, and dignity at work</p><p> • Policy vs lived experience</p><p>The Marvyn Harrison Podcast: culture, identity and fatherhood, hosted by the founder of Dope Black Dads.</p><br><p>Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MarvynHarrison</p><p>Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-marvyn-harrison-podcast/id1456522027</p><p>Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3cIh6ejnk3lUUVhqSKzPUS</p><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marvynharrisonpodcast</p><p>Partnerships and sponsorship: marvyn@belovd.agency</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
