Unfortunately UK law is lagging behind some of our European neighbours!
I've had the unfortunate experience of being made redundant twice from companies with arm's in Europe. Needless to say it was much easier to close the UK concern over the German and French, as thier laws protect them sooooooo much more than ours!!!
Look at the recent XL fiasco, I think I'm right in saying the European contingency kept their jobs.
About time the government pulled out their fingers and started to protect workers the same as in Europe instead of us beng the 'easy' option for closure.
