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.
I actually disagree there has only been a slight rise due to population rise vince cable said there was a 44% rise but this is the coalition massaging the figures again to suit their agenda.if an employer employs a walloper they have a year to get rid as nobody has any employment rights till after 2 years . Factcheck: Have employment tribunal cases increased 44 per cent in two years? | Full Fact
