Senedd Candidates: Pledge to maintain and strengthen Wales’ strong standards

Everyone deserves to be treated fairly at work. Whether it’s time off to look after our families, freedom from discrimination, or fair wages, there are rules in place to protect us all. But employers don’t always play by the book.

It’s up to public protection teams to enforce the rules and prevent forced labour, discrimination at work, trafficking, or breaches of the national minimum wage. But cuts to public bodies are making it more and more difficult for them to carry out their work. Left unchecked, bosses are free to cut corners and exploit their staff.

Join our campaign and stand up for the public protection teams who make sure we’re treated fairly at work.

As a candidate in the 2021 Senedd election, I pledge that if elected I will:

  • Continue to make the case for maintaining and strengthening public standards after Brexit, and to oppose any moves by Westminster to deregulate vital public protections
  • In areas of devolved policy, to use all available levers within its control to improve public standards and protections
  • Advocate for (and in areas overseen domestically, implement) strong enforcement of regulations, underpinned by properly-resourced regulators and transparent reporting
