Anyone one else read this about pie face mike Ashley and his contracts for sports direct staff? Legal slave labour didnt even know **** like this was going on in this country what a joke ,would post a link but don't have a foggy how to do it of my iPad
Found this one mate if that's it http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2013/jul/28/sports-direct-staff-zero-hour-contracts
Is he actually a billionaire? Maybe if got given a quid for every time someone called him a ****? Can't see it otherwise....
The Tory revolution? Persecute the working masses; destroy the unions under the pretense they are all for working families; take away all working rights; reduce or scrap benefits under a 'make the lazy work harder' banner; divide and conquer and drive the the working classes against each other; make us grateful for any crumbs the lords and masters throw us and watch us wilt. They sit back and cream off the billions while we all scrap amongst ourselves for the scraps. This was Maggies dream of Victorian values of the poor getting poorer and the workhouse reclaimed only she didnt dare go that far with a majority govt. Cameron and Osborne are doing this with a Lib Dem supported coalition? When will the people of this great nation wake up and smell the coffee and stop sleep walking back to the 1800's?
Got a friend that works for them and she hates it. always working something different from last week, rarely getting any breaks for long hours either
Just read it. Scumbags! Praying on the weak. I hope Ba goes on strike again over this to support fellow employees who work under the twat that is Ashley. In fact the whole united squad rebel to stand shoulder to shoulder with their sports direct brethren. Will never buy another thing from sports direct.
No doubt some will support him saying it 'acceptable practice' and people choose to work for him but in a region with poor employment prospects for the young and under qualified this is nothing short of exploitation. It sits well with the loan sharking company he has plastered across his team shirts and his general attitude where he seems to know the price of everything and the value of nothing. A truly odious and vile Dickensian caricature of a villain the man is..
Spot on mate..And in these days when the powers that be are preaching austerity as the way forward for the masses, it has just been announced that the billionaires luxury yacht business is absolutely booming...
Im on zero hour contract. However, I have a great boss who gives me the hours I need as well as paying me a decent amount above the minimum wage. Looking for a proper job though, sick of working evenings.
Try this with the iPad. Touch the address bar at top twice - it should give you some options inc Select All. Touch Select All, it will then give option of cut, copy, paste, define. Touch Copy. You can then paste the link to where you want.
If any body needs to see why workers in such places need to join a union this is it. Dispite anything that might be said in the Tory press unions were set up to stop this sort of explotation. It is about time we remembered this and got back to supportting each other rather than allowing the powers that be divide us and get us fighting each other!
The press always ridicule the unions to make it easier to keep the masses in their place..This is not just a British problem, but a result of the predominance of the free market economy which prevails on an almost global basis at present..The only beneficiaries are those who have lots of money already..
