Flexibility is often seen as a one- sided bargain, with workers at the beck and call of employers who make few attempts to accommodate staff needs. The bureaux call for the urgent reform of employment legislation. CSV index 650 TV 600 Main menu 100 Read Hear 640 News 101 Weather 400 Feature TV/Radio News Heads Main Menu
