New Bill Threatens Part-Time Jobs, Warns Currys CEO
Update: 2025-12-18
Description
Currys CEO, Alex Baldock, warns that a new workers rights bill could eliminate part-time jobs, citing potential unintended consequences such as increased hiring risks and costs. Lord Wolfson of Next shares similar concerns, emphasizing the impact on flexible workers. Baldock also links the bill to a broader trend of government policies making it harder for businesses, potentially reducing retail employment by 300,000 jobs over three years. With unemployment at a five-year high and consumer confidence low, the bills impact on businesses and the job market is a growing worry.
