This motion was passed by our branch meeting on 12 February 2026. In many of the workplaces where we organise 25-50% of workers are on Skilled Worker sponsorship visas. These visas tied to a specific employer place workers in an extremely vulnerable position. They can discourage workers from taking part in trade union activities and cause division between such workers and colleagues whose residency isn’t dependent on their employer. We believe a further Employment Rights Act needs to address this situation.
