Can the UK afford the New Deal for Working People?

Labour is right to turn the page on Labour’s flagship Employment Rights Bill .

Employers face large legal bills and significant disruption each time the fairness of a dismissal is tested at tribunal.

Tribunal claims over failed probations risk firms becoming more reluctant to create new jobs.
