That’s fine until you then don’t fully train the agency person, they have an accident and then the company is hugely liable.
Rip it down and build homes on the land.
If they do that, hopefully the customers decide to help the strike by refusing to go. But who knows on that side.
Its funny how the big names for agency workers effectively said the new law was unworkable too though.
I used to work there, they steal workers tips and do things like swabbing your hands and testing it. Locker rooms are pretty tiny too.
But they give you freshly laundered uniforms each day and I left my beats on top of a locker and it was still there 10 hours later, people had just carefully put there stuff around it so its not all bad I guess. Also the staff canteen has like 10 shops there so there’s that.
Is not similar to what p&o did.
Gosh, I had never thought that Harrods would be run by bastards. I am shaken to my core. Shaken I say.
Bit tricky boycotting Harrods.
Then they will threaten the agency staff with new agency fire. In fact, Renhom Denolm will personally phone the security team to escort the old agency team out whilst getting a new security team to escort the existing security team out because he fired them.
Good luck getting Harrods’ level staff on short notice. The staff will be fine but people go to Harrods and expect a certain level of knowledge and service, especially the rich clientele with a lot of money to spend. Harrods has a reputation to consider and paying their staff a proper wage to keep the best is going to be the cheapest way they can maintain that.
As good a reason to go on strike that I ever heard…
For such a high end shop that makes as much money as it does, they have zero excuse to allow things to get so bad that their staff would strike.
So this is another “benefit” of IR35 that has been expanded. That law was never about tax avoidance (that was not taking place, and HMRC was losing majority of cases they brought forward), but to force self-employed into agencies, remove competition and create zero rights employment. These workers can’t unionise and they don’t have any rights.
It’s a shame that Unions slept on this legislation, because ultimately it can be used to remove unions from any workplace now. Simply if a big corporation decides they are done with the unions they can terminate the roles and create different ones, then fire and re-hire the workers on new IR35 contracts. And just like that unions are gone.
