| Quote WIZEB="WIZEB"I have been involved with a liaison with a young lady from my local Aldi's store over the Christmas and New Year period.
She is a deputy manageress at the store and it has been interesting to hear how they operate with regards to their members of staff.
They usually receive a 3/4 week advanced shift staff rota but it appears far from set in stone.
They can be pencilled in for an 8 hour shift but rang up often on the day and told they aren't busy and asked to come in a couple of hours later after their stated shift start time.
She is also actively encouraged to send staff home a couple of hours before end of shift if the store isn't particularly busy.
They also receive a standard rate for all hours worked.
Nothing extra for lates or weekends.
Employers taking the p1ss and getting away with it 2014.'"
I don't think any major retailer pays extra for lates or weekends any more. Some on older contracts may cling to Sunday premia, and there is a Night Shift Premium but nothing for working an evening or a Saturday. Part of the 24/7 culture we have created. |

Why do you think staff should be extra for lates or weekends? Does the company get extra productivity out of paying a premium?
This is nothing new I doubt any person working in retail has been paid extra to work on a Saturday - this is the way in retail this not employers taking the p1ss because of the current economic position. |

| Quote Mintball="Mintball"But they can walk away and get a better job at any time, if only they had the brains, the balls, the initiative, the determination etc.
Because it is all entirely their own fault if they work in such a situation and, in this employers' market, we must never condemn the businesses using the situation to drive down pay and terms and conditions.
And anyone who says otherwise is an unpatriotic communist who doesn't live in the real world.'"
l really should refrain - this employer is behaving not differently than it ever has - to suggest they are driving down T&Cs is simply a phallacy.
Are you suggesting that these employees have no options - Aldi force them to work there?
How would you suggest this works in your real world? |

| My contracted shifts are 12 days from 14, (2 of them being standby), 52 weeks a year, only four days per annum on shutdown, probably down to 3 days for next year as Boxing Day disappears from the calendar - I had 10 days booked off over christmas and new year - just been handed 7 of them back to be added to my 2014 allowance as we worked or were on standby through the period.
Its a good job that I enjoy the work, the pay is good and my expenses for Dec are going to be outrageous  |

Again show me where I said cleaners had expense accounts - you can't. I am still waiting for you to give evidence of where I said nobody can have an increase because I haven't had one!!
You can't because these quotes don't exist it is you making stuff up!! |

No its not - nobody is dragged screaming to Aldi to work. What is the ultimatum here, it is not a prison where they have to do as they are told.
All these people have options - this is a free country the way you talk Aldi is salt mine in Siberia, get a grip on the true reality here. |

Mintball is incorrect, it was care workers who you thought had expense accounts.
And while you may not have said others should not have a pay rise, you have never been slow in condemning any other workers (especially but not exclusively those in the public sector) who may have taken industrial action in order to preserve and/or improve their working conditions and/or pay. |

I never said tat you said that cleaners had expense accounts: you claimed that homecare workers had expense accounts.
You also 'think' that Blair led a 'socialist government'.
That tells intelligent people everything they need to know. |
