Theresa May on Monday will pledge to broaden employment rights in Britain as the country pulls out of the European Union, outlining a raft of promises designed to safeguard pensions, gig economy workers with companies such as Uber Technologies Inc., and wages.

The prime minister will say that if her Conservative Party wins the June 8 general election, she’ll follow up on recommendations made in a review into U.K. working practices she commissioned in 2016 by Matthew Taylor, former policy chief of Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair. She’ll also promise to increase the national living wage in line with median earnings for the next five years, and ensure representation for employees on company boards.

The plans “will be the greatest expansion in workers’ rights by any Conservative government in history,” May will say, according to remarks emailed by her party. “I said I would use Brexit to extend the protections and rights that workers enjoy, and our manifesto will deliver exactly that.”

May is reaching into policy areas that are traditional strengths of her Labour Party opponents as she seeks to strengthen the Tory grip on Parliament beyond its current slim majority in the House of Commons. Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn, for his part, will stick to his party’s strongest suit with the electorate on Monday by pledging to inject 37 billion pounds ($48 billion) into the National Health Service over the next 5 years.
