South Lakes Labour Westmorland & Lonsdale Constituency Labour Party

South Lakes Labour Campaign Coordinators Paul Casson and Trevor Batchelor joined forces with GMB Union area rep John Warcop and local GMB rep Angela Bain outside Kendal’s Asda supermarket to distribute leaflets and get signatures for their petition regarding the Asda (Walmart) workers compulsory inferior contract. If ASDA staff do not accept the terms of this new contract then they face dismissal without regard to their current service record or past loyalty towards the company. Walmart is an American company that is fiercely opposed to the unionisation of their workforce. ASDA is a very profitable company that does not need to cut wages and working conditions. South Lakes Labour Party pledges its support for the GMB union members and all ASDA workers fighting for a fair deal at work.
