Wages are generally higher in Ireland and employees have more rights. One low tax does not mean overall costs are lower. Plus, brexit is supposed to be a benefit so shouldn't that make Britain better? Average salaries in the UK are actually lower than in most comparable major economies. We used to be equal with Germany in 2008, now we're £10,000 behind on the national average
If these changes don’t apply to the millions of vulnerable agency workers then Labour have failed. Labour will make it impossible for agency to get permanent contracts.
Fact the UK workers have less employment rights, than any other European citizen from 1st World Countries, look at the employment rights in Sweden, Denmark, Holland, France, Germany etc., workers in the UK, also have less holidays and work longer hours! So, for anyone who is a worker, these new laws help to protect them! That is a basic right! As is the right to strike!
I see a difference between Labour and the tories here. When the tories say "we'll make employment pay" what they actually mean is not that they'll improve anything for people in work but they'll cut benefits including for those on low wages. When Labour say "we'll make working pay" they actually intend to improve things for workers.
Very bad news for employers and staff
We closed our business for this reason, had to lay off 14 staff. Came to Britain 🇬🇧 inspection of better rules. 😢
If I was starting up a business I’d be off to Ireland 15% corporation tax 😮and less of this bs 🙄
At the moment.

I guess this can happen since we not apart of EU anymore
Not entirely true.
It could have happened while we were in the EU. We ad to meet EU employment rights as a minimum, we could always go beyond with better rights
