Lawyers slam government plans to restrict unfair dismissal claims

It would appear to me that the last commentator has not worked in the US where lack of employment protection has created a workforce, particularly at senior management level, that is paranoid and terribly insecure, not a great model to emulate in my opinion. A far more sensible suggestion would be to allow costs to be awarded in ET's where it is clear that either an employee or an employer has been vexatious. That might focus the mind a little of employees who feel that they can bring a spurious claim with few consequences for themselves.
