TUC warns of two-tier workforce as country emerges from pandemic
TUC

BRITAIN’S workers are facing a two-tier future, dividing those who can work from home and those with no workplace flexibility at all, the TUC warns today.

The trade union body is challenging ministers to stick by their manifesto pledge to ensure flexibility for all workers, as research reveals a growing contrast between the conditions of blue and white-collar workers.

Emphasising that working from home is not the only form of flexibility, the TUC’s polling reveals that workers unable to do so are also more likely to have requests for flexible hours refused.
