Hi all
This came in on my email today courtesy of PLC:
The Taylor review will recommend that zero hours workers be given a right to request to switch to fixed hours, according to reports this week. This approach has already been adopted by some employers. It is reported that, if the right is implemented, employers would be required to respond "seriously" to the request and provide reasons for the final decision. However, some unions have argued that the proposals do not go far enough; with TUC general secretary Frances O’Grady explaining that "a right to request guaranteed hours from an exploitative boss is no right at all for many workers".
In recent weeks, Matthew Taylor has made a number of comments ahead of the review. The final recommendations of the review are awaited. We will need to watch this space!
All the best
Sarah
