The Need for Employee Representatives

Despite unemployment rates showing ongoing improvements cut backs and redundancies are still commonplace.   A walk down the high street shows how many retail operations have been affected with many well known names now gone but its far more than the high street that is affected, redundancies are taking place across most sectors, news, banking, media, education, gas and oil.
