All bets are off at Grosvenor Casinos. This year management enjoyed an all expenses safari trip to South Africa. Yet they refuse their workers a pay rise that even keeps pace with inflation. And that is why they are on strike this holiday season!

🛒Today is the busiest shopping day of the year. Despite being the biggest sports retailer in the UK Sports Direct refuses to pay its workers a real living wage. It still expects to make between £550m & £600m this year Stop being a Grinch & pay up! 🔔

🔥 UNITE WN | Metrolink
Metrolink members' action led to vastly improved pay for many workers. This result shows the power of a union and workers at Metrolink should be very proud of their achievement. 1/2

⚽️ Sports Direct is the biggest sports retailer in the UK.
💰It expects to make between £550m & £600m this year & had a £3.20bn turnover last year. But they can't afford a pay rise or permanent contracts for its workers?

When the proposal for day-one unfair dismissal rights was last under threat @ieruk.bsky.social said the impact of replacing it with a 6-month qualifying period was profound: 5-month fixed term contracts, no rights for seasonal workers & people pressured into 0-hours.

This is something we've raised since "day one" rights were first mentioned.
Farm workers here on temporary visas remain without unfair dismissal protections-even when returning every year.
Last yr we had 145 dismissal cases: used as a threat, used when people complain, used to maintain power.

Much will be said about this, but I can't help but think that the biggest losers will be seasonal agricultural workers.
The six-month threshold is meaningless since their visa forces them to leave the country before it kicks in. It will remain completely legal to sack them unfairly at any time.

Government to ditch day-one unfair dismissal policy from workers’ rights bill
