Are the Ruskies invading again? 3 large planes each supported by fighters just flown overhead from Waddington in a North Easterly direction.
Going well for Mike Ashley in parliament today as they look into the way workers are treated at SportsDirect...
If anybody listened to the whole thing he has been pretty honest and saying that everything needs sorting out. The media especially BBC have selected certain replies to questions to make out he is denial when he was actually very open, held his hands up, admitted that he needed to get more people in because the company had grown to big for him to handle on his own and that everything they were describing should not be happening. Of course the BBC decide to portray it as something else.
But look at it another way. Would he have been adamant about a need for change at Sports Direct if he hadn't been called to answer questions.? Or would he have carried on as normal.?
He would quite probably have carried on as normal because he has admitted that he doesn't really read that many evaulations nor take that much responsibility in depth of the runnings of things. I find it quite laughable to be honest how "this culture of fear" has been pinned on Sports Direct. This is nothing to do with Sport Direct indirectly, it is a nationwide problem with any company that employs large numbers of agency workers and it is the agencies themselves that penalise workers by not giving them as many hours if they miss a day or make any complaints. I find it strange that the government is very keen to get at Ashley yet waves away the exact same complaints about the exact same practice being exercised at loads of places that employ agency workers. It is endemic in the food production sector yet it is brushed off as nothing.
