Ace Breaking News – Here’s today’s News & Views Headlines, and it’s all about Rayner’s most damaging workers’ rights reform delayed
“Angela Rayner has bowed to pressure from business and delayed plans to grant “day one” rights to new employees. The right to take companies to court for unfair dismissal from the first day of employment and a right for staff to work from home will now not come into force until 2027, following fierce pushback from bosses and lobby groups.
Businesses were preparing for these rules to come into force from autumn next year, but the Government confirmed on Tuesday that there will be another two-year wait for the key reforms. Andrew Griffith, the shadow business secretary, called it “an admission that they [the Labour Party] have got it wrong again.” The delay follows a fierce backlash from business leaders, who fear that the new rules will trigger a blizzard of tribunal claims that will tie up companies in the courts.” – Daily Telegraph
