Minister unveils proposals for 'watered-down' job controls

摘要

Employment rules protecting public sector staff from changes in their jobs when their departments are outsourced could be watered down, under plans announced last week. Employment relations minister, Ed Davey, said the Government was reviewing the future of key employment rules which it regarded as 'red tape', including collective redundancy consultation periods, the Transfer of undertakings protection of employment regulations (TUPE) and levels of compensation for discrimination awarded by employment tribunals.
