Unfair dismissal could be abolished

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-15456585

Allegedly this report says that the Government is considering scrapping unfair dismissal in its entirety.

Wonder if it did so whether it would also be the end of redundancy. Why would a business pay redundancy when it could just kick someone out when they like.

doubt they would get away with doing this as it would be in breech of human rights.

it will be a dangerous path if they go down that road because basically it would give employers carte blanche to do whatever they want and at the end of the day you want a amicable relationship between employer and employee.

not really.

It would pave way for endless private lawsuits against businesses who are uncontrolled and treat their staff like rubbish.

It wont happen, workers HAVE TO! be protected by law especially at a time when the economy is like this or we will see people getting thrown out on their ear with companies not having to give a reason.

Just imagine you could have an affair with your secretary but you could just get rid when they get too old and you want a younger model

Re: Unfair dismissal could be abolished

Should you be in the least surprised about this under a Tory government as they do not like workers having any legal rights in work.

I expect a knighthood for the person who come up with this idea if not a seat in the Lords.

I see that it was commissioned by our wonderful prime minister so his public schoolboy chums will be loving him once again.

But Downing Street sources told the BBC's Robin Brant no decisions had been made, and added it is "unlikely we would go further on unfair dismissal".

Re: Unfair dismissal could be abolished

Agreed - but, like many things, the current system is open to abuse, but imho that means we fix the current system, not abolish it.

You would need to take the handwringers out of the equation.

Yes it would be nice if we could fix the current system but somehow l can see us saying this in another 10 years.

Re: Unfair dismissal could be abolished

I knew it was only a proposal and probably wouldn't happen but then again Governments repeatedly have a habit of doing stupid things
