Quote“In order to adhere to new government policies on recruiting workers from outside of Malaysia, we have been gradually reducing the number of service contracts with agencies to directly recruit more Malaysians,” a Tesco spokesman told FMT.

Will other countries/governments follow ? should they ?

QuoteTesco has confirmed it is set to close its Metro store on Belfast's Royal Avenue in the next year as its "lease comes to an end".

Quite a number of Belfast shoppers will miss it.

The Belfast metro is a weird one , it was closed for a long time due to a massive fire in a nearby building . Many retailers are fighting with landlords to have a reduction in rent and with Belfast city council about a reduction in rates . There are still pedestrian issues around that area I think and there are 2 expresses quite closely.

Tesco apologises as mum left disgusted by ‘racist’ T-shirt featuring a black mermaid with ‘too fluffy’ hair

I may need a little help here, would a 'white' mermaid with short hair and captioned "her hair is too short" be a racist comment/advert ?

You don't need any experience to work in Retail, the sooner the government stops wasting money for training in unskilled industries and starts reinvesting into things that matter, the better off we will all be.

There was something similar 10 years ago called workfare, it rightly got called out and scrutinised for what it is, modern day slavery, Tesco doesn't need free labour, it should pay a wage to all who work there, anyone that says otherwise is a draconian tory donut.

penguin

Yeah I remember workfare and then compaines quickly removing themselves from it when the backflash came, it will be even worse this time with so much more social media use. Anyway Tesco can now find room for one extra person, I will on Monday with the greatest of pleasure be handing in my notice and starting a new job the following week.
Do not let anyone tell you there is not a decent job and life beyond Tesco.

NightAndDay

Glad to hear it, , good luck in your new job.

grim up north

@penguin, good luck. But what makes you think T* will replace you?

penguin

Thank you both, and I know full well I wont be replaced our store is way overspent on payroll as it is.

It's not right what many people have to go through at this despicable company, hopefully more of your downtrodden colleagues leave for better jobs to.

Nomad
