Well, well, well, one of the 'clarifications' offered to businesses by Labour's watering down of its New Deal for Workers, is to allow zero-hours contract to continue (despite a commitment to ban them completely) of workers choose them;
cue, off-line (verbal) pressure & 'incentives;' to adopt zero hours contracts 'voluntarily'...
Clueless about employers methods!
If Keir Starmer was trying to build trust in an incoming Labour Govt.,its not workers' trust that he is interested in.
@ChrisMayLA6 I was really disappointed to see Torsten Bell of the Resolution Foundation do a long hairsplitting thread in defence of this "clarification".
If I'd seen that, I too would have been disappointed; normally he's good value... but then again, lest not forget David Willets is the Chair of the RF - the sensible Tories may be seeing the next Labour party as a lot of others here do too - the continuation Tories?
@ChrisMayLA6 I've noticed him doing that a few times in the recent months. Very little point in being an "independent" think tank if you start tailoring your output for a (Tory) government in waiting.
