In his latest Coffee Break Briefing webinar, Frettens’ own Insolvency Guru Malcolm Niekirk looked at dealing with solvent liquidations with no tax clearance.
This is the summary of that briefing.
Labour Leader challenger Owen Smith published his workplace manifesto containing 25 pledges to improve worker rights earlier this month. They include:-
- abolition of fees for employment tribunals;
- employment rights, such as unfair dismissal and redundancy, from day one;
- abolish zero hour contracts;
- strengthening union recognition and bargaining rights, and limiting 'sweetheart' unions;
- new Equal Pay legislation to close the gender pay gap; and
- more worker representation for important decisions within a company.
Comment
"These pledges are very similar to the ones Jeremy Corbyn has already made. Therefore, whichever one of them wins the Labour candidacy for leader, the pledges are likely to become Labour policy. However, whether we will seem them come to reality in the future will have to wait to be seen, explains Employment Associate Paul Burton.
