Employers can issue new contracts at any time, and add things in, schools changing to academies are a good example of this, unions appear to be toothless and we are still in the EU so not protected by their laws either, 90 per cent of the workforce have accepted these new contracts, it probably affects staff who have worked in Asda for a long time more as their terms were probably better than staff who joined recently. It’s must be very stressful to be in that position, sign or leave, what a great way to reward long serving staff
