to think Tesco should fucking well PAY THEIR STAFF?

[QueenOfFlippingEverything]

I know, I know, there have been threads about it already.

But this is so rage-inducing, I want THE WHOLE OF EVERYONE to know about it.

Jobcentre advert placed by Tesco for night shift staff. Who will be paid [drumroll] JSA (£67 a week) plus travel expenses.

Why the fucking fuck should Tesco get their staff for free? Why? Their profits last year were something like £3.5 billion last year!

I know who I think is taking the piss here, and its not the unemployed people who will be forced to work night shifts at Tesco for their £67 a week

Do they CRB check the job seekers who are sent to work night shifts with vulnerable people?

No CRB check

I've just posted on Tesco's facebook page and it must have appeared because I've got 'Likes'. This exploitation of unemployed people is an absolute disgrace.

Sorry its the Fail, but quite good, I thought. I can't believe there are no comments about it though.

... and do they CRB check the people who will be supervising vulnerable workfarers, TP2?

Bearing in mind employment law doesn't apply to workfare, as they aren't employed.

Oops, sorry, on my wall to Tesco. Sorry!

not employees - would be covered by CRB
not volunteers - would be covered by CRB
not interns - would be covered by CRB
so, what are they?
because if there is any sort of an incident, SOMEBODY's public liability insurance is going to be knocked for six

interestingly the Tesco facebook page is getting rather full of questions about workfare on just about everything they try to talk about ....
www.facebook.com/tesco

The list of participating companies is here
www.boycottworkfare.org/?page_id=16
rather than talking to each other, maybe we should be posting on their facebook, linkedin, twitter and other PR feeds ....

Has Anyone sent this thread to Tesco?

Or is that a terrible Idea?....

I wonder if MNHQ would be willing to put their weight behind this...after all this is forced labour that is in direct violation to The Human Rights at work act 1998 or will they just hope this thread will die?

DO it Kate. DO IT!

I dont know if it's worth it, but if those who have "liked" tesco on their FB pages go into your settings and unlike them?

I mean "every little helps" after all

As someone posted on their Facebook page, Every Little Helps to line their thieving pockets

That phrase is Hilarious.

We should all Put it as our Status or something and keep it their for at least an hour.

It might spread the word a bit more.

I've posted it. It made me laugh anyway. What bastards. Hand in hand with their Tory mates, of course.

that is the list my link led to - but some of the ones marked have now dropped out - read the notes at the bottom of the website page

I will re do the list for the ones who are still in it and another list for the ones who have dropped out of the scheme.

OK

Oxfam and Shelter have now pulled out of the scheme..as have the following..

TK Maxx
Sainsbury?s
Waterstones
Oxfam
Shelter

taken from this here.

Cool
and if there are any of those companies with 0800 customer care centres
or for those of us with block landline deals .....
this site has contact details for many head offices
www.saynoto0870.com/

remember we MUST NOT harass front line staff - its the directors who are the target
even the ones who are married to MN posters (as by logic there will be)

Agreed with the front line staff, they must be having a hell of a day already, I dont think calling will do anything though. Maybe written letters or emails? With results published on here and FB and MP's?

Oh wow, I'm so glad shelter has seen sense.
Great article in the Daily fail, although you could tell it had been very hastily written.

Maybe we should all pick one of these companies and email them and ask what their intentions are.

emailing takes seconds
if you look at the Tesco FB page you can see how busy their Mods are having to be
pick ten of the companies on the list and post a comment to their walls
if everybody did it ....

and PLEASE MN posters - if your hubbies are directors of these companies, ask them what the HELL they were thinking when they signed this faustian pact

Oh I'm loving their FB page...
