Another nail in the coffin of the British workforce

Redundancy talks period to be cut from 90 to 45 days

Quote:

The 90-day consultation period before large-scale redundancies can take place is to be cut to 45 days, under government plans.
Employment Relations Minister Jo Swinson said the move was aimed at helping workers and businesses.
Labour said the changes would not boost economic growth and the TUC said: "Making it easier to sack people is the last thing we need."
But many business groups welcomed the move.
The change, which would affect the whole of the UK, is planned to be introduced in April. It would affect redundancies of 100 or more workers.

Christ what next? Kids up chimneys? Workhouses? Cameron calls this progress? Or is this his idea of a return to victorian values? The man is a pleb !!

Best regards.

No surprises here then...

Quote:

The worst-off councils in England will have central funding cut by an average of nearly 3%, Eric Pickles has said.
But the communities secretary told MPs the wealthiest councils face average funding cuts of 8.7% for 2013-14.
He did not give a single national figure for funding cuts, but said other measures meant overall that councils' "spending power" would be 1.7% lower.

I'm not, no matter how much I dislike what Clegg's party have or haven't done, I have no time whatsoever for UKIP.

Be careful what you wish for. I'd much rather the Tories in a coalition with Clegg's bunch than with UKIP.....
