"Under the new type of contract, employees will be given between £2,000 and £50,000 of shares that are exempt from capital gains tax. In exchange, they will give up their UK rights on unfair dismissal, redundancy, and the right to request flexible working and time off for training, and will be required provide 16 weeks’ notice of a firm date of return from maternity leave, instead of the usual 8."

that can not be right.

royal mail want to breach emloyment law which they will not be able to do and no way would the union or the government let them.

Royal Mail do not want to breach employment law.
This was something spouted by Osbourne. It wasn't a direct reference to Royal Mail.
Companies of any size will be able to use this new kind of contract, but it is principally intended for fast growing small and medium sized companies that want to create a flexible workforce.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
