Retail Sector

Proceeding contribution from Helen Goodman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 6 June 2018. It occurred during Opposition day on Retail Sector.

When I went to talk to my local jobcentre, it complained about the way the supermarkets treat their workers. My local jobcentre says it is grossly unfair and unreasonable to give people short 12-hour or eight-hour contracts. Is the Secretary of State confident that the increase in the number of jobs is an increase in full-time equivalent jobs, or is it just chopping up jobs that would previously have had a reasonable number of hours?
