To be appalled by how marks & spencer are treating their staff. I have always thought of them as being an ethical company who treat both customers and staff with respect. Not so now apparently they have jumped on the zero hours band wagon. I have heard that they are forcing changes to their employees contracts that will force them to work when and where the company say so. Leaving very little choice. So for instance if a long term 50+ none driver is not able to comply and unable to travel to another store then they will be forced out. These mostly women who now get extra pay for weekend work may loose their job. Saving M&S a fortune because the jobs will go to a member of staff on the minimum wage. The company will save money on the run up to Christmas by not employing temporary staff but forcing their part timers to work longer hours even if they struggle with child are. I'm sick of these big companies treating people in this way. I stopped using amazon because of it. But at least I didn't have to look their people in the eye knowing I was helping them be exploited. I shop in m&s their staff are always lovely. If I and others stop shopping wouldn't we be putting these jobs at risk. So what's the answer? ( sorry for being so long winded but I am really angry)
