RCO Support Services V Unison
''RCO Support Services v Unison'' 002EWCA Civ 464 is a UK labour law case concerning transfers of undertakings, and the job security rights of employees. Facts Patient services of the Walton branch of Aintree Hospitals NHS Trust were transferred to two wards in Fazakerley. Cleaners, through ‘Initial Hospital Services’, had refused to take jobs, on worse terms, with RCO doing the same thing. RCO won the contract, partly, by giving an assurance that TUPE would not apply. RCO relied heavily on '' Süzen'', and argued that if neither assets nor workforce were transferred, there could be no TUPE application. Unison argued ''Süzen'' favoured its position. The EAT noted that it was not sorry to conclude that the Tribunal was correct to hold there was a transfer of an entity which retained its identity. Were it otherwise, new contractors could simply avoid TUPE by not hiring any of the old sacked workers. Judgment Mummery LJ noted that RCO relied on Paul Davies’ discussion of th ...

Transfer Of Undertakings
The Transfers of Undertakings Directive''2001/23/ECis a European Union law that protects the contracts of employment of people working in businesses that are transferred between owners. It replaced and updated the law previously known as the Acquired Rights Directive 77/187/EC. Overview The Directive stipulates that any employee's contract of employment will be transferred automatically on the same terms as before in the event of a transfer of the undertaking. This means that if an employer changes control of the business, the new employer cannot reduce the employees' terms and conditions, unless the Directive's exception criteria are met. This is that there must be a good economic, technical or organisational reason for the change. ;Chapter I – Scope and definitions Employment rights and work organisation > Summary of Directive 2001/23/EC">Summaries of EU legislation > Employment and social policy > Employment rights and work organisation > Summary of Directive 2001/23/EC/ref> A ...

Job Security
Job security is the probability that an individual will keep their job; a job with a high level of security is such that a person with the job would have a small chance of losing it. Many factors threaten job security: globalization, outsourcing, downsizing, recession, and new technology, to name a few. Basic economic theory holds that during periods of economic expansion businesses experience increased demand, which in turn necessitates investment in more capital or labor. When businesses are experiencing growth, job confidence and security typically increase. The opposite often holds true during a recession: businesses experience reduced demand and look to downsize their workforces in the short term. Governments and individuals are both motivated to achieve higher levels of job security. Governments attempt to do this by passing laws (such as the U.S. Civil Rights Act of 1964) which make it illegal to fire employees for certain reasons. Individuals can influence their degree o ...
