00:00Trade unions have rejected an invitation from Reform UK leader Nigel Farage to build closer
00:06ties with his party. Farage said unions representing working people should consider engaging with
00:13reform and invited leaders to attend the party's conference later this year. Union leaders
00:18responded by arguing reform's policies do not support workers' interests. They pointed to the
00:24party's opposition to Labour's employment rights changes and said existing protections
00:30matter to employees and families. Reform says there may be areas of agreement and has called
00:36for discussions on issues affecting workers. The exchange highlights growing competition
00:41for support among voters with union backgrounds.
