the british government on monday set out new legislation to upgrade workers' rights -- the biggest package of workplace reforms in two decades.
英国政府周一制定新法规提高工人权利——这是未来20年来最大的一揽子劳工改革方案。
the aim is to ensure that the uk meets the challenges of the changing world of work.
under the new legislation, employers would be obliged to present a written statement of rights to employees from their first day on the job, and employers who are demonstrated to have shown 1 would face a fine of between 5,000 pounds (6,300 u.s. dollars) to 20,000 pounds (25,200 u.s. dollars).
the package forms a crucial part of the country's modern industrial strategy, which aims to help businesses create better jobs across britain.
greg clark, secretary of state for business, energy and industrial strategy, said "today's largest upgrade in workers' rights in over a generation is a key part of building a labour market that continues to reward people for hard work, that celebrates good employers and is boosting productivity and earning potential across the uk."
he said the reforms "build on our pledge to build an economy that works for everyone."
