Private Equity (Transfer of Undertakings and Protection of Employment) Bill

No, it does not. The reality is that Joe or Josephine on the shop floor knows that they are being taken over. Let us be right about this: when private equity companies take over a company, it is because they have a plan to change things. They might be coming in with new investment, but they will want to change how the company is run. A takeover has significant consequences for the work force. When that transfer does not take place, people do not face those consequences.
