MINISTER UNDER FIRE

UCATT reacted angrily to a speech by Business Secretary John Hutton in which he ruled out further employment rights legislation. The Government minister said new rights would undermine "Labour market flexibility" and the Government should only set "minimum standards" in the workplace.
UCATT General Secretary Alan Richie said: "It is exactly this kind of subservience to business which is causing Labour to haemorrage grassroots support"
