LATEST NEWS & EVENTS Unfair dismissal reform is 'a charter for bad bosses'  The government's proposed reforms of the Employment Tribunal system have been branded a "charter for bad bosses". Among the measures set out by the government is the requirement for employees to work two years for a company before being able to seek unfair dismissal compensation claim advice. The Unite union has slammed the Employer's Charter, saying it will give bosses the "green light to bully and intimidate". Unite general-secretary elect Len McCluskey said the changes will even encourage employers to sack staff. "It's no coincidence that the Employers' Charter comes on the same day the government proposes to make it easier to fire workers, but harder for them to access justice in the courts," he added. "The government have declared open season on workers' rights." He went on to warn that the charter is dangerous for employers, as those which misinterpret the advice will end up in court. The government unveiled the plans yesterday (January 27th), saying they would help businesses to grow by making it less risky to employ new workers. Posted by Gaby Hamerton
