Trade unions have slammed a review into the gig economy and changing working practices across the UK. Unite, the country's largest union said Tuesday's report "spectacularly failed to deliver" on its promise to tackle the problem of insecure work, while the GMB described it as a "disappointing missed opportunity"...[with it showing] "show some laudable aims on the surface"...Business groups delivered a mixed reaction to the long-awaited Taylor review, with the Institute of Directors saying it "strikes the right balance". Others warned that the recommendations, which included a reducing employment tribunal fees cracking down on "exploitative" conditions, would be difficult, time-consuming and costly to implement...[The British Chambers of Commerce said they were] "pleased that [the review] has acknowledged that UK firms already face high costs in addition to wages, and has sought to avoid adding to these burdens at a time of uncertainty and change."
