Today Matthew Taylor will publish his recommendations into employment practises following his six month review. He will put forward his principles for “fair and decent work”. He does not seem to have been impressed with what he has observed.
He will recommend that workers “have a right to request set hours”, he is concerned that some workers will find themselves with insufficient minutes.
He will request “a shake-up of the tribunals system, paving the way for higher fines for companies that abuse the system”.
He will also ask that companies be “a little more transparent” in their business dealings.
He believes that some people are still insufficiently paid and is keen to see them maximise further their take home pay.
Matthew Taylor claims “I have not written this report sitting in a darkened room”, but that does seem to go against the facts as he has been seen very little in public during these six months.
He also says “I do not approach this issue as if we have a national crisis” and “I don’t think good employers have anything to fear from our recommendations”; he has evidently observed better practises in some of his previous experiences.
Whether Matthew Taylor will achieve his goals seems highly doubtful, his recent track record has been more miss than hit; it appears that another year of the status quo, of a bumpy, and perhaps disastrous, year awaits.
Many are already rejecting Matthew Taylor and his report, one authority is quoted as saying: “this is not the game-changer needed to end our insecurity.”
Shame he didn’t realise what he was letting himself in for before he signed up for it!
