The Confederation of British Industry (CBI) is urging the Government to resist calls for new employment laws that would "turn the clock back on improved workplace relations".

Grinding to a halt: Why Government policy risks bringing business to a standstill
...Association has estimated that councils will lose up to 17% of their funding from central government grants for 2011/12 and face a total funding shortfall of £6.5bn over the next year. Such stringent cuts will of course affect anyone who utilises public sector services and will be felt most dramatically by those working within the public sector, which will have to cope with job losses and pay freezes. But as our feature beginning on p.18 explains, employers within the private sector are sure to suffer the repercussions of this new age of austerity. Two areas of particular concern to employers are...

...backfire on them. The newspaper quotes one Whitehall source as saying that `John Reid or even Gordon Brown could be liable if someone died in hospital as a result of funding decisions traced back to central Government'. More likely, the delays are caused by the difficulty on drawing up such a politically sensitive piece of legislation. Is the legislation even necessary? Hilary Ross of Berwin Leighton Paisner commented to Workplace Law Network that if the Government's intention is to merely add the offence of corporate killing to the statute books, it is debatable whether a full-scale review of cri...

Sweeping changes
...egulation, and the recent decision (p.6) to halt the vetting and barring scheme are examples of the Coalition's intention to roll back, where possible, the power (some would argue, interference) of Government. David Cameron's overall policy, as the feature on p.18 explains, is to create a more locally involved (and devolved) Government, with the main priority constitutional change. And of course, reducing the £156bn deficit by making stringent spending cuts will occupy the Cabinet more than spending time undoing employment legislation that came in under the previous administration. However, th...

CDM special
...ck in... There's been a lot of debate surrounding the revision of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 1994 (CDM 1994), which has stretched over several years. The outcome -- in the form of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 (CDM 2007) -- appears not to be radically different to its predecessor, leading some to suggest that the problem was never in the Regulations themselves, but in the application and enforcement of those Regulations. Nonetheless CDM 2007 does aim to simplify the law (by incorporating the Construction (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations...
