CM welcomes reforms but defends flexible labour market
Recommendations to prevent employers abusing staff on zero-hours contracts are to be welcomed, according to the chief minister.
Howard Quayle told members of Tynwald he wants to minimise the lack of stability surrounding the contracts, but stopped short of opposing them.
Some have raised concerns about possible exploitation of those in the flexible labour market.
But Mr Quayle believes there are some in society who benefit from zero-hours contracts:
Department brands loss of Greeba tree 'regrettable'
Inmates stage prison protest over time spent in cells
Local clothing retailers rated poorly in new survey
'Unnecessary' delays left electricity customer in limbo
