Thread
1.Annual leave
The EU figure excludes Bank Holidays, the UK figure doesn't.

2. Sick Pay
The United Kingdom is bottom of the league when it comes to sick pay. The lowest sick pay vs average wage comparison.
Sick pay is just 35% of the average wage. Even Estonia, Slovakia and Bulgaria have better rates.

Maternity Leave
The UK is one of the better nations as far as the amount of weeks leave (6th out of 28)
However we have the joint lowest maternity pay vs average wage payment.

Living wage.
Six countries have no living wage requirements. Out of the remaining 22 nations, we rate around 10th, hardly something to crow about.
So this tweet is dishonest and awful and factually incorrect. It seems to me as it is gaslighting in order to start reducing rights

The worst thing about this is the information is easily sourced on Google so fact checking took ten minutes. The Tories rely on people not checking. Don't let them deceive you with truth twisting, the facts are there.
