BBPA Response to Latest BRC Report

In response, a BBPA spokesperson said: "Just over half of the pub sector’s workforce is aged 16–24, making our industry one of the most important employers for young people.

"It’s vital that the Government continues to work with the beer and pub sector to ensure the Employment Rights Act is implemented fairly and in a way that protects these crucial first steps on the career ladder.

"It is also essential that the Government listens to the industry and takes action to mitigate sky-high employment costs, which are forcing many pubs to cut back on their workforce and opening hours."
