Ministers could yield over workers' rights
The Gazette

BUSINESS Secretary Peter Kyle has hinted at concessions over the Government's workers' rights package to ensure it makes it through Parliament and does not damage firms.

Secretary Peter Kyle
Mr Kyle said there would be extensive consultations about the measures in the Employment Rights Bill, insisting it was not a "zero sum" game where either workers or bosses lost out.
The legislation is caught in a standoff between peers and MPs over measures to ban "exploitative" zero-hours contracts and give workers protection against unfair dismissal from their first day in a job.
Asked if the Government would be prepared to accept amendments to end the standoff, Mr Kyle said: "I'll do what it takes to get it through, because I need to get on with the real business, which is implementing it."
