Friday podcast: pay wars, prison staff data and floor-buffing discrimination

Our weekly HR news and analysis audio programme includes:

union boss Derek Simpson warns HR should “prepare for war” as strike action continues because of pay cuts

prison staff details go missing in the latest data loss saga

and we debate a strange tribunal case involving a 16-year-old boy and age discrimination: he alleged he was not given a job because the employer told him he was too young to operate a floor buffer. 

Plus we bring you a sneak preview of what’s coming up in next week’s Personnel Today magazine – all things Generation Y: find out how to recruit and retain teenagers and young adults.
