Asda bosses burying their heads in the sand, ways GMB Union
Asda workers at Lowestoft have announced a new strike.
More than 170 Asda workers will walk out of the store from 03:00 to 22:00 on Friday 9 August 2024.
Workers are angry over a litany of issues, including:
Cuts in hours
Poor quality training
Bullying management
Health and safety issues not being addressed
Fire safety breaches rampant
Equal pay not resolved in a timely manner
No collective bargaining with GMB
Despite meeting with senior management since the previous Asda Lowestoft strike in May, staff have no confidence any of the issues are being properly addressed.
Keith Dixon, GMB Regional Organiser said:
“Asda Lowestoft bosses know full well why workers are frustrated.
“They’ve met with GMB several times, but they seem to be burying their heads in the sand.
“Not a single point of concern has been addressed by Asda during these meetings – suggestions from GMB have been blanked.
“Management seems to want to ignore these problems and hope they go away. They won’t.
“Now, Asda Lowestoft workers are walking out once again. “
