Hundreds of Asda staff to protest against new contract

HUNDREDS of Asda workers will take part in a mass demonstration today against the imposition of a “race-to-the-bottom” contract.

The workers, who are members of the GMB union, will march from Leeds city centre from noon.

They are demonstrating against their managers demanding they sign “contract six,” which will deprive them of paid breaks and remove their right not to work over the weekend.
