ALT Nye Cominetti Principal Economist Resolution Foundation “Low-paid workers are the most likely to lose their jobs, not know how much work they’ve got from one week to the next, and miss out on sick pay if they fall ill. They’ve got the most to gain from the Government giving UK workplaces a security upgrade. “But it’s crucial the Government gets the detail of their reforms right. Better protection against unfair dismissal must be balanced against the risk of putting firms off hiring, while action against zero-hours contracts must focus on the pernicious problem of volatile and insecure working hours from one week to the next. “For all the talk of radical reform, much of what the Government is proposing would simply bring the UK more into line with many other advanced economies. That alone would greatly boost working conditions for many low-paid workers.”
