UK Trade Bodies Oppose Employment Rights Act Changes
Four trade bodies have written to the UK government to warn against proposed changes in the Employment Rights Act regarding guaranteed hours. The organizations claim the policy will lead to poorer working conditions and reduced opportunities for employees. They specifically warned of a 'double whammy' involving increased unemployment and lower labor market entry for young people. The groups are suggesting specific policy changes to mitigate these risks.
