Employers prepare for fairness
Article Abstract:
Employers' attitudes will prove the key to the success of the British Employment Relations Bill, should it become law. Findings from a survey of employers' bodies such as the Confederation of British Industry and the Institute of Directors suggest that the forthcoming legislation will have little influence on managerial and human resources department practices in medium-sized and larger companies. Businesses' main problems will be added bureaucratic and administrative tasks and costs. Statutory union recognition is not the issue that some governmental opponents fear.
