I have no doubt that there are some real cruddy employers out there, but the tribunal law as it stood was open to abuse, and the rise in figures for claims over the last ten years prove it.
As far as i'm concerned that argument holds no water, It was altered by the dead cow, from 6 months to 12 months n then 2 years fer n employer to dismiss a worker with no redress, if n employer aint sussed a dolloper out in 2 years then they are stupid in my book.
