Angela is Rayn-ing on workers' parade

WHATEVER happened to the 16-year-old Angela Rayner, the one who trained to be a care worker before climbing up the political ladder? It seems as if that Angela has disappeared: just like the job opportunities once afforded to her will when the deputy prime minister brings in her ideological, anti-business, anti-jobs Workers' Rights Bill which will send youth unemployment soaring.

Currently, an employer minded to give a job to someone wet behind the ears or rough around the edges won’t do so once this Bill comes into effect. In giving full employment rights to workers from day one, businesses are now planning to cut back on recruitment.

Making the situation worse, this Bill makes it easier for workers to take employers to tribunals, with staff getting “civil legal aid” to do so.

So if an employee can’t afford lawyers the Government’s new Fair Work Agency will help them, which will cause havoc in the workplace and bring forward costly, unaffordable legal battles.
