Labour's post-election honeymoon will be short-lived unless it takes immediate action to deliver on workers' rights and brings a swift end to 14 years of public sector pay restraint, the president of the TUC has said.

Starmer must act immediately on workers' rights - union chief

Matt Wrack, also the general secretary of the Fire Brigades Union (FBU), said Keir Starmer should convene a summit with unions within days to plan how Labour would deliver for workers if it wins today's election.

"Unions should be invited in quickly to set out their priorities," Wrack said as Starmer prepared for an expected landslide victory.

Wrack said issues that required urgent action included delivering on Labour's new deal for workers, resolving long-running public sector strikes and boosting wages.

While a Starmer-led government would probably insist that the state of the public finances means money is tight, Wrack said union members would not wait long.
