| Comment | You think Saramago would freely acknowledge they are currently behaving in a way contradictory to the Scottish Government Fair Work Practices? I bet you they wouldn’t and what’s more I bet you there isn’t anything in there that specifically bans what they are doing at least how they would see it. The document is a toolkit of best practices and the specifics it does give like the living wage and no zero hour contracts Saramago likely adheres to. It really isn’t a magic bullet document that ensures perfect labour relations in perpetuity like you seem to think it is. This is the problem, you would need some mechanism by which this would be assessed and arbitrated if it was going to be in a legal document and be cause to cancel a contract. The document isn’t really designed to do this.
Look, I agree 100% with the workers and support them. I do think there is pressure CCA can bring to bear and I hope they are doing that. But I also know that there is likely little most people involved can actually do and I also know having some vaguely worded MOU tucked in a drawer somewhere has basically never done anything tangible for anyone. |
