Trade unionists target Sports Direct

YOUNG trade union activists will target Sports Direct over its shameful employment practices today in a protest at Rangers’ Ibrox stadium.

Unite’s Decent Work For All campaign has targeted Sports Direct and its owner Mike Ashley over the company’s use of zero-hours contracts, poverty pay and draconian employment practices.

Activists are now seeking to build solidarity with fans angry at Mr Ashley, who has a 9 per cent stake in the club, for using Rangers as a money-making machine for flogging his products.
