COVER STORY
Job losses in 2015: Why we should all be worried
The government promised to deliver a “miracle” the first half of 2015 but instead, it has been marked with dramatic job losses, including those related to the crisis sparked by the collapse of the British American Investment (BAI).

But why is it in the interest of small businesses to stand with the unions now?
