Very engaging and informative focus group discussions held with FSB members about @Economy_NI’s ‘Good Jobs’ Employment Rights Bill and consultation which closes on 30th September. These include wide ranging proposals across employments rights and trade union activity. Businesses have questions and concerns and we will engage with the Department and consultation to ensure that those are high on the agenda. Our aim is to create the right conditions for entrepreneurship and employment. Thank you to those FSB members who attend and engage with our focus groups. Special thanks to @mckeeslaw for their assistance. We strongly encourage all business owners to read the consultation and don`t hesitate to contact us with your views and any concerns as we formulate our response to the proposals.
