Experts have predicted that the rate of unemployment in the UK will show another rise when government figures are released later today.

A London-based employee has been awarded £64,320 after being unfairly dismissed by a boss who had been sending her suggestive text messages.

The credit crunch will cause thousands more City of London workers to lose their jobs this year, it has been predicted.

The gap in pay between men and women is greater the higher paid the role is, it has been stated.

Workers with equal pay disputes on contracts are now able to claim on a string on these and not just the latest one, following a court ruling.

Representatives of workers at car parts firm Visteon are meeting with company bosses in London over the issue of redundancies.

There will be more redundancies at Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) centres in the UK following a fresh announcement by the financial institution that there will be 9,000 further job cuts.

The level of unemployment in Britain will top three million next year, the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) has warned.

The number of employment disputes reaching tribunals will fall under a new resolution system, the Advisory Conciliation and Arbitration Service (Acas) has said.

A planned strike over redundancies at the BBC scheduled for today has been called off.
