It comes after House of Lords made many amendments For the summer holiday law, which includes proposals to introduce a six -month qualifying period for unfair dismissal and have the right to request the rights of guaranteed hours, rather than offer a right.
The Employment Rights Bill, which is in its last parliamentary stages, was made the champion by former Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rener and former Employment Rights Minister Justin Maders.
Both have abandoned the positions that they were taken through the law FolkWhich has expressed concern between the campaign groups and union owners.
As the Commons gear to consider the amendments of Lord’s on Monday, a collection of women’s organizations warned that “will reduce the government’s promise for gender equality and working people due to any delay or weakening”, saying that the law “is a chance to help closure gender pay gap”.
Cabinet Minister Bridget Philipson stressed last week that the government planned to complete the employment rights bill, “No IFS, No but but but”. However, there is a possibility that Lord’s modifications can be accepted amid the concern that law may obstruct trade.
The letter indicates the TUC data that indicates that women are 34 percent more on zero-hour contracts than men, which reach 103 percent for black and minority ethnic women and 49 percent for disabled women than white men.
Meanwhile, 1.3 million people who do not qualify for statutory sick pay, 70 percent are women, show their figures of women budget groups.
The letter argued that “excluding exploitative zero hours contracts for agency workers, and protection to workers whose shifts have been canceled” are necessary to pursue gender equality, saying that measures would mean “women will not be out of pocket for childcare cost”.
He argued that flexible work, paternity leave and a right to request legal salaries without low income limit are all measures that will benefit women unevenly.
He also said that “the agency workers stamped the exploitative zero hour contracts, and to protect the workers whose innings have been canceled at the last time, which means that women will not be out of pockets for childcare costs, which allow them to work”, “54,000 pregnant women and new mothers who may not soon do not experience employment.
Deputy Director of Women Budget Group, Dr. Sarah Reece said: “Women still create low-payments and wholesale of unsafe workers and are standing to benefit the most from the employment rights bill.
“This law is a time-generation opportunity to stop the gender salary difference, raise the standard of living and to help those workers strengthen the economy by giving them strong rights and more protection.
“But this ambition should be seen – this is why we have written to the new minister Peter Kyle. Due to any delay or weakening, both gender equality and government promises will be reduced.”
The letter stated, “The status of women in the labor market is influenced by the systems and structures that motivate them to a large extent from unpaid care work that they do than men”, says the letter.

Addressing the TUC conference last week, the Education Secretary said: “There is no doubt. A year ago we were elected to pay this employment rights and to the Congress, we will do this.
“We will not accept any water below by Lords. Full with the Employment Rights Bill. No, no butt – forward. Let’s change this country together.”
A government spokesperson said: “The Employment Rights Bill is the greatest upgradation of the rights of workers in a generation. This government was selected on an manifesto to pay the work, and we are fully committed to it.
“This landmark bill will eliminate exploitative zero hours contracts, improve flexible work access, provide parents and paternity leave from day one and build a fair work agency to maintain employment rights.”
