More than a million British workers not having a single day of paid time off, says TUC

The research, conducted before the government’s pledge for a generational improvement in workers’ rights, found that 1.1 million employees – about one in 25 – did not get a single one of those days. It said that black and minority ethnic staff were disproportionately hit. Low-paid workers were most at risk of losing out on paid holiday. The roles with the highest numbers of staff losing out were waiters and waitresses, care workers and home carers and catering assistants.
