    Business groups accuse ministers of introducing a thicket of red tape as the government bans exploitative zero-hours contracts, ends “fire and rehire” tactics, introduces basic rights from day one and protects workers against unfair dismissal.

    Amazing how it’s always businesses complaining when the regulations are designed to improve things for their employees, eh?

    It’s not gonna go down well, but let’s be fair, shorted days/shorter working weeks/more holidays, more pay, job security and protections….theyre all gonna make you happier at work, which will make you more productive.
