Get with the times on home working, trade unions tell bosses
PM could be ejected from Downing Street if Welsh Labour loses Senedd elections in May, First Minister says
TRADE unions urged bosses to get with the times yesterday, after it was announced working from home is on the rise.
The Office for National Statistics said the number of home-workers had hit 4.2 million — a 1.3 million rise since the late 1990s, making up 14 per cent of the total workforce.
TUC general secretary Frances O’Grady said bosses didn’t “trust” staff so force them “to trudge into the office so they can keep an eye on them."
