Sir Keir Starmer's government faces backlash from business leaders over the 'Get Britain Working' plan, which seeks to return 2 million young people to work amidst critical warnings of potential job losses and economic strain from rising employment costs.
Work and pensions secretary Liz Kendall emphasizes that the plan demands those who can work must do so, aiming to tackle worklessness and boost employment despite strong pushback from major business organizations expressing concern over the risks of job losses.
Major business groups such as the British Chambers of Commerce and the Confederation of British Industry caution against the Labour government's ambitious work plan, arguing that increased employment rights legislation and taxes could exacerbate job losses rather than facilitate employment.
In a dramatic push to reduce worklessness, Liz Kendall outlines a controversial strategy that would compel young people and the long-term sick to take jobs or lose their benefits, amidst rising concerns from the business community about its potential repercussions.
