In July the British government published a review into modern work practices. The so-called "Taylor Review", named after its author Matthew Taylor, was largely rejected by trade unions and welcomed by companies such as Deliveroo. The IWGB published an in-depth reply to the review a few days after it was released, which can be found below. In this episode of Unworkable the review's author Matthew Taylor talks to IWGB General Secretary Jason Moyer-Lee. The IWGB's response can be found here: https://iwgbunion.files.wordpress.com/2017/07/iwgb-response-to-taylor-review1.pdf The full report can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/good-work-the-taylor-review-of-modern-working-practices Special thanks to Matt Nida for his help producing this episode.
