Seriously. What a shitty way to treat people.

That’s the shittiest thing about it. The timing. I’m sure it’s no accident that this is happening just as people are about to start planning for Christmas.Staff needed to stand together in solidarity and not sign. Can understand why a lot of them panic signed though, especially at this time of year.
They’ve been granted a weeks extension.Don’t know enough about the situation; have the non-signers now been dismissed? It’s actions like this that lead me to generally avoid supermarkets as much as possible and use local independent shops as much as I can. Granted, it works out more expensive but local community is something I value beyond money.
Oh God, not another Brexit.They’ve been granted a weeks extension.
Asda workers are 'terrified for their jobs'I've never heard of this.
Does someone have a link explaining it?
These foreigners, coming over here taking our jobs...Loving that most complaining on here are all anti brexit, yet if there weren't scores of European immigrants lined up take their jobs, this wouldn't be possible.
I was very specific and chose my words carefully. There's enough of those type of threads on here so please dont twist them to imply something differently to what we both know I meant.These foreigners, coming over here taking our jobs...

If you chose your words carefully, trying to flip the argument to blame immigrants rather than focus on shoddy employment practices from the company is all the worse.I was very specific and chose my words carefully.

Not at the same rate. The population has risen by 10m since the turn of the century. Immigration is a good thing, all of the studies confirm that, but our services can't cope at those rates and everybody including the immigrants themselves suffer.Two points:
1) Other EU countries manage to stop exploitation without leaving the EU. We could too.
2) Most post Brexit plans involve replacing Eastern European immigrants with Asian immigrants so won’t help anyway.
Not remotely. I've not suggested they're not shoddy, but merely taking advantage of market forces. Forces that wouldn't be available if the mass immigration hadn't occurred.If you chose your words carefully, trying to flip the argument to blame immigrants rather than focus on shoddy employment practices from the company is all the worse.
That argument would almost stack up if it wasn’t for the fact that we’ve had a record low in unemployment for sometime meaning we’re as close to 100% employment as we’ve ever been. There isn’t a queue of a Johnny Foreigners outside of every ASDA store waiting for someone to get sacked let alone the majority of their workforce.Not remotely.

Usually I have everyone telling me that the unemployment figures are a myth due to including zero hours and many others who aren't included in the numbers eg age related etc.I guess that doesn't suit this argument.That argument would almost stack up if it wasn’t for the fact that we’ve had a record low in unemployment for sometime meaning we’re as close to 100% employment as we’ve ever been.

Not at the same rates. The doors that opened under the last Labour government to allow the population to swell so rapidly enabled it. You know this too, but are being purposely obtuse.As you say business taking advantage of market forces. Higher population = more supply of labour = price competition and lower wages.
Quo bono? The businesses. Cheaper labour, higher profits.
Has it not occurred to you that maybe this desire to stop immigration from the EU and the rights and protections those workers are afforded is to replace them with other migrants from elsewhere such as Asia and Africa with even lower wages and without rights and protections attached?

any other bans/boycotts you've got going? (or anyone else for that matter)?I was unaware of this story until now.
I have, however already got a ban on ASDA (my nearest supermarket) for more personal reasons.
This will just reinforce it. Along with my ban on Peugeot cars.
Marston's pubs (and beers as far as possible). My wife split from her first husband but they came after HER (and me, by association) for a loan they had made to the business. They also lied about having a contract regarding the loan of cellar equipment, and also increased it with interest, bailiff's fees, court costs, etc. All of which the court decided we didn't owe (my wife defended herself against their hot-shot London barrister).any other bans/boycotts you've got going? (or anyone else for that matter)?
Can't think of too many others off the top of my head.any other bans/boycotts you've got going? (or anyone else for that matter)?
