The former chairman of the conciliation service Acas said a long trail of "broken" workplaces was holding back economic recovery and costing the country billions of pounds in lost income. Ed Sweeney, in a report for the Smith Institute, said more should be done to narrow the "divide" between the best and worst workplaces.
The report recommended a target of lifting a million low-paid workers on to the Living Wage by 2020, employee representatives on remuneration committees and an extension of free childcare.
