For more than a century, Community has been fighting for our members on the issues that they care about.
Community and its founding unions have been instrumental in achieving key milestones in Britain’s industrial history including statutory sick pay, the right to join a trade union, the Equal Pay Act, and the national minimum wage.
Recently, we collaborated with the wider labour movement to create the Employment Rights Act 2025, which once passed into law, will represent the greatest uplift to workers’ rights in a generation. It will provide workers with statutory rights to bereavement leave, protect pregnant women from unfair dismissal, and put an end to exploitative practices used by employers.
Community has played its role in securing landmark achievements such as:
- Introduced the pension protection fund
- Established the national minimum wage
- Extended maternity leave
- Defeated fire-and-rehire at Clarks
- Secured £3bn of investment in the steel industry
- Established the Make Work Pay agenda and introduced the Employment Rights Bill in Parliament
- Saved thousands of jobs at British Steel by passing the Steel Industry (Special Measures) Act”
