The Government is considering new reforms to help protect public service workers and avoid further confrontation with trade unions, according to reports.
The Government is apparently discussing a move that would give central government staff the same level of protection for pay and conditions as public sector workers at local level.

The Financial Times claims ministers want to extend a deal struck in February which forced private companies providing local services to offer transferring staff terms that were 'no less favourable'.
