Letter: OECD on jobs: adaptability, not flexibility, is the key
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: All of Britain's leading political parties are claiming that the OECD report on jobs provides endorsement of their particular policies. But why is anyone fighting to be associated with proposals for greater 'labour market flexibility', which in Britain over the past 15 years has facilitated the loss of three million full-time paid jobs, and offers the prospect for many young, even qualified, people of little better than part- time shifts in fast-food outlets?
Yours faithfully,
