Is this labour doing an actual labour thing?
OK. +1. -1000. They’re clawing it back! :P
This is very good, although I do think they should also jail some of the thieves!
I agree, though alas currently wage theft is not a crime in the UK.
Biggest theft are the first 20 or so, with just shy of £1m to 500 workers to £100k to 400 workers.
The rest is more or less individual grievances (although well done to this one person:)
I wish they went after bigger players. Yeah inidividual M&S and Holland&Barret stores are in there, but I was waiting to see Uber or Deliveroo in there
The trouble with the likes of Uber etc is they claim that the people working for them are technically self employed and thus not entitled to NMW.
I know there was a court case a few years ago about the worker’s status but I’ve not really been familiar with the issues since I worked for HMRC
More of this, less of the shit stuff. It’s not fucking rocket science.
I didn’t get any. How are people getting this?
The full list of employers caught is on the press release linked above - maybe your employer wasn’t there ? There’s also a link for working out if you’re being gypped and what to do (if you’re not on the list)
