Government Publishes Response to Taylor Report on Gig Economy

The government today publishes its response to Matt Taylor’s review of the gig economy, promising a raft of new rights for casual workers.

The BBC has a write-up here. The response has been mixed, with center-ground groups like the Resolution Foundation welcoming the plan, but Labour and the trade unions insisting it does not go far enough. Business Secretary Greg Clark will be touring the broadcast studios this morning, as the government tries to show there is more to life than Brexit.
