Asda workers ‘fed up’ with working conditions as GMB accuses bosses of ‘cost cutting’
The GMB union has said Asda workers are “fed up” with working conditions as supermarkets in Wisbech, Brighton Hollingbury and Brighton Marina are currently voting on whether to take strike action.
GMB London regional officer Keith Dixon told Retail Week that members in his region are reporting a litany of problems in certain supermarkets, including health and safety issues the union claims have led to injuries, fire safety breaches, cuts in working hours and a lack of adequate training.
The union alleged that the numerous issues across Asda stores are a result of “cost-cutting” by bosses as it tries to service its mountain of debt.
