Re: News is so depressing
Different news sources have different reasons for reporting the news the way they do. I suspect the main reason is profit. But I'm always amazed how different each news source can report on the same story. Best to take it with a pinch of salt because if the worst comes to the worst there's nothing we can do about it, I'm just glad that I'm at this end of my life and not just starting out. I had a job for life, saved up and managed to get the things we needed without owing money to anybody (except mortgage) and reared a beautiful, intelligent and thoughtful daughter (although I might be biased) but I refuse to sit back and be depressed by some news organisation brainwashing me into believing all is lost. I am thinking along the same lines as Suzuki Sue.....

Obviously you don't know about T.U.P.E and employment laws. It is a direct result of these recent laws that zero contracts came about. All stemming from the EEC who never gave it serious consideration first.

Go though that lot then say about the end of job protection. It is now the case that employers need protection
Please get your facts right first

Re: News is so depressing
Anyone been Tupeed over in a job knows it's not as safe as they say, it's not many weeks before they can changed everything and they generally do it so the person has to leave so I think employers have it their way pretty well also hardly any rights in first year of working for a company means many companies just keep rolling by sacking people by end of first year.Having said that there is loads of good news out there just never gets reported.

They already have - the implicit culture of way the laws are framed, the cost of taking matters to an Employment Tribunal, the culture and constitution of the Tribunal itself with the often implied 'nod and a wink' to the employer that they really aren't that bad. (I used to be a Tribunal member and have also represented many applicants at these and Employment Appeals hearings too).
