AN ASDA worker is faced with the prospect of having to forgo caring for her disabled son and husband as part of a newly imposed contract — or face the sack.

Another worker at the supermarket giant said they felt “worthless, used and abused” after bosses started pressing them to sign a new agreement, known as Contract 6.

Employees who sign the document lose paid breaks and are obliged to work bank holidays and weekends.

Asda has stated that any employee who does not sign will be sacked on November 2 — just eight weeks before Christmas.

One worker from Scotland said: “My son has a very rare disorder which means I have to do everything for him. He is emotionally attached to me so when I have to leave him to go to work he can’t cope and makes himself sick.

“My husband had an accident which left him with a neurological disorder — his mobility is poor and he’s in constant pain.

“On the afternoons I work, my son goes to an out of school club as my husband isn’t able to look after him on his own.

“If Asda forces me onto Contract 6, I’m worried I will have to leave so I can look after my family.”

Asda workers are set to take part in a national demonstration against the contract this Wednesday in Leeds, where the company is headquartered.

Other workers have told GMB how the new contracts would impinge on their and their families’ ability to care for children and their own illnesses.

GMB national secretary Justin Bowden said: “In the boardroom it may be all about the bottom line, but out in the stores this is about real people’s lives being pulled apart with often devastating consequences.

“Telling dedicated workers to sign up — no matter what the consequences to their personal lives — or lose their jobs in the run-up to Christmas is truly shocking.

“Asda must get round the table, negotiate with GMB and stop Contract 6 ruining people’s lives.”

Labour shadow business secretary Rebecca Long Bailey tweeted: “The founders of Asda would be spinning in their graves if they saw how workers are being treated now.”

Asda could not be reached for comment.
