Cathy Murphy has worked for Asda for the last 44 years and says it
has been an "absolutely amazing employer".
However, recently the supermarket chain told Ms Murphy she will be
fired unless she signs up to a new contract that will strip her of her
long-service benefits, paid tea breaks and Bank Holidays off.
She is one of thousands of employees who have been told to sign the new
contract before 2 November or leave the business. But Ms Murphy describes it as
"just not fair".
The GMB union says up to 12,000 workers face a choice between signing the
new contracts - which increase wages to £9 an hour but scrap many other
perks - or being sacked in the run up to Christmas.

Yes, we know trading conditions are tough, but they continue to be highly profitable, so treat your staff properly. |

most large employers these days are vermin.
This is what happens when stock price and money are your god. The average lifespan of a S&P500 company in the 60s was 60+ years. Now its 18 and that will only decrease further as incompetent morons who run these companies accept any short term solution that increases stock price in the short term. The greatest asset Asda has is its workers and they treat them like dirt and then will expect them to turn up the next day with happy smiles for their customers. |
