NEWS - 20 Feb 08 - More flexible work to ‘destabilise’ business (Financial Times) Business leaders on Tuesday welcomed a warning from government that extending the right to flexible working to millions more parents could risk alienating employers, causing them to refuse all requests for part-time work. John Hutton, business secretary, said in a speech: “We want to avoid a situation where employers are so overwhelmed with requests from newly eligible groups that they feel they have to say no to everyone.” John Cridland, deputy general secretary of the CBI, welcomed Mr Hutton’s remarks, saying: “We want to avoid a situation where flexible working is refused because too many people are able to ask for it. The person who asks last could then lose out irrespective of whether they had a pressing need. That surely cannot be the intention of public policy.” www.ft.com NEWS - 1 Feb 08 - Landmark ruling for 'lazy' working mum - A mother who claims she was forced to leave her job because her son is disabled has won the first stage of a landmark European court case.
