El Cid Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I think that the employers have too much power. Jeremy Corbyn thinks that the ban on sympathy strike ban should be lifted. I believe that we have much fewer strikes, compared to years ago, and compared to other countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big corporates (and the council and the NHS) don't have to follow the rules though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought the minimum wage going up to £9 an hour was their worst worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim1 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 It will be for some no doubt but that's the tip of the iceberg. Already started to prepare to be honest. Not replaced my full time and part timer that have left. Add the cost of pension contributions as well. I have slimmed my menu to make it easy for me to work on my own a lot more and I have made the hubby work a couple of hours in the shop after his day job lol.

Big corporates (and the council and the NHS) don't have to follow the rules though. I think it's a big problem that small businesses have a completely different business experience to that of the big Corporations who have the money and manpower to take most things in their stride. I can understand how a small business might struggle with every change and new bit of red tape. Surely they should be able to differentiate between the two. No wonder so many independents and start ups struggle to get a foothold. Corporations need to have their wings clipped to make it more of a level playing field.

No wonder so many independents and start ups struggle to get a foothold. Corporations need to have their wings clipped to make it more of a level playing field. Business regulations (many from the EU) make it harder for small businesses. Regulatory compliance costs are subject to economies of scale. Deregulation (no I don't mean no regulation at all) following Brexit would help rebalance competitiveness between corporations and SMEs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I'd want jeremy corbin for pm however! These aren't new ideas. They're the same nice sounding things that socialists have been saying for centuries. Nobody in their right mind acts on them because they do more harm than good. It's not the government's place to tell private organisations how to spend their own money.

Not sure I'd want jeremy corbin for pm however! Corbyn's favourite country Venezuela imposes a law that says certain posts in public office can not be any more than a set multiplication of the minimum wage. The highest earners in the country can not earn more than 12 times the minimum wage, the pensioners earning equal to the minimum wage. http://venezuelanalysis.com/news/6002 'In March 2009 Chavez criticised the high salaries and other benefits of high officials, stating, “We have to get rid of these mega-salaries, mega-bonuses”. At that time, he signed a presidential decree setting wage limits for higher level public administration workers, prohibiting bonuses and eliminating superfluous and luxurious spending such as international travel, parties, and car purchase.' Sound familiar? And this week.. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-35329617 'The Venezuelan government has announced a 60-day economic emergency to deal with the country's worsening crisis. Annual inflation up to September 2014 is said by the Venezuelan Central Bank to have reached 141%.' It's not a model that is showing itself to have much protection from changes in the global economy.
