Story: Unpaid overtime on the rise in Britain

A sad truth.

The whole workplace is getting very competitive and if uk workers get complacent the work just moves elsewhere in the world. I personally don't mind working a few extra hours here and there but it can get out of hand. Some companies put a lot of pressure on their employees especially when they make them compete with off shore resources. There is no easy answer to this and for the foreseeable future I don't really see anything changing. One thing is for sure is that the Government and TUC winning about it isn't going to make a blind bit of difference. The work place has changed and for the foreseeable future we are just going to have to live with it. Changes in legislation won't work because employers are now highly mobile going where they can get the most out of their staff. Not just my opinion but unfortunately a sad truth.
