It's not scaremongering to voice how important they are to the UK workforce.
You are being hypothetical since you can't produce one fact that any of these laws are suddenly being revoked. You say facts are important and never produce any.

Ill ask you again and hope for a straight answer. Why won't we have the laws when we brexited? Who told you we wouldn't? Where did this 'fact' come from?

If they are specifically EU law and we are no longer in the EU then by definition we don't have to abide by those laws do we?

UNLESS we retain them as is into our legislature, or write our own.
Again assurances that this will be the case will be sought I'm sure by our representatives.

What you think because we leave the EU 40 years worth of laws will be scrapped at the drop of the hat when it's already been said nothing would change immediately, and anything that did change later would have to go through parliament and probably the house of Lords? How on earth would any UK government just scrap a bunch of rights laws and get away with it? We will probably retain a lot of the law we've attained in our time in the EU, most of it was passed into UK law and there is a process for changing those laws. We aren't moving to the planet zardoz as slaves to the big head when we leave the EU. (Reference to a very strange Sean Connery film I once saw on TV). I really don't know where you get this idea from.

What's been said? Nothing's been said other than 'brexit means brexit' and it will be 'titanic' ... Well, no argument from me there.
Other than that we know nada.

Would I put it past them to do that, scrap the lot? hell no!

You went off on a tangent again, the crux being I think you trust them to protect those rights, I do not.

It was in the press and the news, I can't remember who said now but it was something along the lines that all laws would remain as they are for the foreseeable future. I'm sure you can Google it.

I don't trust any political party but I know realistically what you are suggesting isn't going to happen. I'm sure some changes might be attempted as all political parties have their own agenda but ultimately the government has had to U turn before if people are unhappy with the proposed change. Also you seem to forget that they are answerable to the people. Here is an article that should make you feel less worried.

https://www.theguardian.com/careers/...loyment-rights

Did you know it was a labour government that introduced university fees? University used to be free.
