More than three quarters of employees believe that there
will be no change to job security under the new government.
A survey of 2,063 adults by HR consultants Eden Brown shows
that 78 per cent are confident that their jobs are safe following the election of
Tony Blair’s Labour administration for a second term.
It reveals that one in three respondents say they have been
victims of ageism as a result of being too old or too young and a fifth say
they had been unfairly discriminated against.
The research also shows there
is widespread ignorance of the minimum wage as well as statutory rights and
leave periods.
