Good for the CYM in keeping a list here of some very bad practices during the crisis. Where known others similar should be added to it. The use of ‘zero hours contracts’, lack of proper communication with part time and other workers and so on is abysmal but somehow unsurprising. The far side of this crisis there’s going to have to be sustained political and community pressure put on these and similar operations to implement basic protections for workers.
Here’s a link to the excellent Labour Start website’s special page on union reactions to Covid 19 crisis, updated regularly.

Labour Start is an excellent campaigning organisation – clicktivism that works: they often force employers and govs to retreat from attacks on unions/workers through effective online campaigns
