Mike Hall Member of Parliament for Weaver Vale welcomes the 8 Extra Holidays for 800,000 Workers in the North West

800,000 workers in the North West were this week promised up to eight extra days annual holiday with the first four coming in October this year. The extra holidays will benefit up to 6 million workers across Britain including 3.5million women and 2.5million men.

In line with the agreement at Warwick, the new regulations were published this week to boost the minimum holiday entitlement from 20 days a year to 24 days this October, and to 28 days from April 2009. 

Mike Hall MP said:-

“Labour is sticking up for hard working families and making it easier to balance work with family responsibilities.  It has also ensured that our most vulnerable workers have core employment rights to protect them from abuses.
“This extra time off will make a real difference in the lives of hard-working people in Weaver Vale – a proper rest from work and more time to spend with their families and friends.”
