Ok - I was thinking about this today after reading that Sports Direct has 90% of its staff on zero hours contracts:

It's clear that corporate welfare is a massive problem - where tax-credits are dished out the businesses to subsidise them paying below a living wage. I'd like to see such tax-credits rebranded in terms of business-welfare to see how that affected the debate in the right-wing press....

Sports Direct's entire 20,000 part-time workforce are employed on zero-hour contracts at a time when 2,000 full-time staff are about to cash in bonuses of up to £100,000. The contracts, handed to 90% of the company's 23,000 employees, leave staff not knowing how many hours they will work from one week to the next, with no sick pay or holiday pay, and no guarantee of regular work. Bosses at Sports Direct, the UK's biggest sports retailer, were this month hailing their bonus policy for full-time staff as that of a model employer. |
