The chipping away at the rights of workers will have a serious consequences from a sociological perspective, if there are no secure jobs then that impacts on spending and all aspects of family life within all communities in the UK.
Over the years unskilled workers have seen contracts change from permanent full time to renewable temporary part time in order to forgo any benefits, pensions, bonuses, overtime, share scheme, maternity, holiday or sick pay in a bid to minimize outlay and maximise profits.... But has this economic model worked in the UK?
Now they're moving the goal posts as to who is entitled to take action I cases of dispute via tribunals, shifting the bar from 1yr of employment to 2yrs and as of this year there will be a fee also. Who having found themselves jobless has the extra cash for this action?...
There's a definite lurch in favour of employers here, and that's all well and good but if there's no stable society there's no stable economy, they're building a house of straw here....
