'Emergency measures to kick-start Britain’s faltering economic recovery by reining in a £1billion-a-year employment tribunal bonanza will be unveiled today.
After a row in the Coalition over how far to go in slashing business red tape, Vince Cable will pledge to cut the number of tribunal claims hitting firms by at least a quarter.
The Business Secretary will also say ministers will make it easier for firms to sack large numbers of workers in one go and allow bosses to read the riot act to under-performing staff without fear of being sued.'
I do hope that this is properly implemented. Potentially it is an excellent move - but we really do not want it to be hitting genuine claimants.
My suggestion that claimants should have to prove their case rather than employers prove their innocence would have been a far more effective step.
