The Labour deputy leader dismissed Lord Mandelson's remarks about her plans and claimed an 'idea that you're either pro business or pro the worker is for the birds'.
Angela Rayner has hit back against 'squealing' Peter Mandelson after the Labour peer criticised her flagship reforms to workers' rights.
He urged her to consult with firms on her planned changes to employment rights, which she has set out in Labour's promised 'New Deal for Working People'. The document also includes plans to entitle employees to sick pay and parental leave from day one, introduce a 'right to switch off' after leaving the office, and boost workers' rights to flexible working.
Many business groups are lobbying to water down Labour's proposals, while Lord Mandelson used a recent newspaper article to urge restraint. 'Well it didn't, it's endured, and it's one of the things that across all political spectrums say that it was actually crucial, and it's affected millions of workers positively,' she added.
'Once people can see what we're trying to achieve, they get on board and are really happy to move with it,' Ms Rayner continued.
