Union criticises employment law
Jersey will be left with some of the worst employment laws in the western world, according to a union.

The Transport and General Workers' Union (T&G) claims States' reforms undermine rights on redundancy, discrimination and protection of pay.

But Employment President, Senator Paul Routier, says he is concerned that members of the T&G are not being told the full story.

He claims some of the information is out of date and inaccurate.

There is concern that the introduction of the new law could be delayed, after calls to fight the plans and Senator Routier is urging T&G members to find out the details for themselves.

Mr Routier said: "I think if members wanted to get a copy of the Employment Relations Law either from the States Assembly website or from the States Crest bookshop, they can then judge for themselves whether they feel what is being put forward is appropriate."
