answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2021 answer text <p>The Government has been very clear that threatening fire and rehire as a negotiating tactic is completely unacceptable. We always expect employers to treat employees fairly and in the spirit of partnership working with trade unions, where relevant, constructively. We are confident that all non-departmental public bodies (NDPBs) are aware of the Government’s position on this matter.</p><p> </p><p>We work constructively with each NDPB we have responsibility for and this includes when it comes to workforce management matters. However, each NDPB that does not employ civil servants is ultimately responsible for the management of its staff.</p><p>The Department has taken no recent action regarding the use of fire and rehire tactics in its executive NDPBs. Should information come to light that suggests this is an area of concern, then the Department would respond accordingly.</p> answering member constituency Banbury answering member printed Victoria Prentis question first answered 20/07/2021 14:34:55 answering member 4401 label Biography information for Victoria Prentis
