Lots of pub workers are on zero hours contracts I cant see us all boycotting pubs as well.
if all the people who are going to boycott sports direct, well they better leave space on their boycotting placard because they're going to need it, sports direct treat their staff no different from many other companies, for example in Peterborough we have IKEA, AMAZON, DEBENHAMS all large warehouses employing large amounts of agency staff, minumun wage, forced overtime, bullying, treated like scum...getting to work to be told no work today..sacked for minor infringements, well you're never sacked just not asked back......even the company I work for has told agency staff if they don't do overtime or work bank holidays then they'll find people who are prepared too.....MANY MANY companies treat people like this, I sometimes wonder if the those who scream boycott actually have any idea what life is like at the bottom...
Being of a certain age I had to look up Tom and Barbara, wow!
Barbara Lee
60, Cambridge; philanthropist
$213 million
Her 1996 divorce from buyout king Tom Lee made Barbara Lee a very wealthy woman. (Her net worth got another boost when she sold their Brookline home for $18.5 million, then a city record.) She’s since started a foundation to support women in politics, hosted a $500,000 fundraiser in October for Hillary Clinton and the three other women U.S. senators up for reelection, and given the first $5 million toward the new $62 million ICA, whose capital campaign she cochairs.
Yeah, son 1 in Wethrspoons on Zero hours contract has no concept of what overtime or bank holidays are, the pub is 'open' whether the doors are or not for long hours hours and his shifts can cover whatever bit of it they roster him for, no antisocial hours bonus for a 3am start or finish, no bank holiday extra.... They open on Christmas Day and get people going for lunch just like the more gentrified establishments do.if all the people who are going to boycott sports direct, well they better leave space on their boycotting placard because they're going to need it, sports direct treat their staff no different from many other companies, for example in Peterborough we have IKEA, AMAZON, DEBENHAMS all large warehouses employing large amounts of agency staff, minumun wage, forced overtime, bullying, treated like scum...getting to work to be told no work today..sacked for minor infringements, well you're never sacked just not asked back......even the company I work for has told agency staff if they don't do overtime or work bank holidays then they'll find people who are prepared too.....MANY MANY companies treat people like this, I sometimes wonder if the those who scream boycott actually have any idea what life is like at the bottom...
There's been threads on 'spoons and their purchasing policy for beer before (apparently cheaper as near to going off)
