Well, after working in a fairly senior role at Tesco for the last 4 years, I can pretty much say that I'm certainly not treated like sh**e! I enjoy an industry-leading, award winning pension scheme, staff discount, free shares, save as you earn shares, buy as you earn shares, free life insurance: the list goes on. NB. these are available to
ALL staff, by the way. Don't forget, Tesco employs more than 295k staff in the UK, (largest private sector employer in Europe, I believe) and more than 500k worldwide - it's pretty difficult to satisfy all those people all of the time.
In relation to workfare, Tesco weren't the only retailer involved, (Sainsburys?) and I recall that we confirmed that anyone taking up a placement would be taken on permanently if they did a good job: don't see what the problem with that is??
Regarding Mondays' meeting, I'll certainly try to attend if at all possible.
