William Hill unveils Sunday working arrangements

Article Abstract:

The William Hill Organization has developed a Sunday working program with its employees, making it the first off-course bookmaker to take advantage of the Deregulation and Contracting Out Act, which allows for Sunday operations by such businesses. Employees and managers were first surveyed for their ideas on the management of Sunday hours, and several options were then presented to them. They can work Sundays in lieu of another day and receive time and a half for Sunday hours, or work Sundays in addition to regular hours and receive double time for the Sunday hours.

Changes in working practices

Article Abstract:

The UK's automotive component industry is still adopting the techniques proven successful in Japan but the process has accelerated since 1990. Auto makers now demand more of their immediate suppliers, who repeat the process with their own suppliers. Expansion plans at most UK car makers promise to soon create thousands more jobs in the component industry. Of 23 component makers surveyed, 19 now use cellular manufacture, 17 use teamworking, and 15 have a sequential just-in-time arrangement with at least one customer.

Working days lost to disputes rise to 410,000 in 1995

Article Abstract:

A UK labor report shows 410,000 working days were lost due to industrial disputes during 1995, an increase of 280,000 over the previous year, but lower than the 10-year average. However, 72% of the work stoppages lasted less than two days, and a college lecturers' strike was responsible for 63,000 and 39,000 days lost in 1994 and 1995 respectively. There were 235 stoppages, mostly related to pay, but the 20 largest ones were responsible for almost three-quarters of the days lost.
