J D Wetherspoon refuse to pay sick pay of workers who may have coronavirus
J D Wetherspoon are forcing into work staff who may have coronavirus.
If follow WHO advice, government advice, may have coronavirus, self isolate, but if work for J D Wetherspoon and follow this advice will will not be paid.
J D Wetherspoon workers who try to do the right thing, self-isolate and try to stop the spread of coronavirus are being told, either turn up for work or you will not be paid.
This is appalling treatment by Wetherspoon of their staff who may have coronavirus, come to work or you will not be paid.
This puts their colleagues at risk, drinkers in their bars at risk, hastens the spread of coronavirus.
Do you really wish to visit a Wetherspoon pub and not be sure if the person preparing your food, serving your meal, handing you a drink has coronavirus?
The only defence we have against coronavirus is containment.
Coronavirus is twice as infectious as seasonal flu, the death rate ten times that of seasonal flu.
My recent observations:
- Toby Carvery bar girl sneezes twice into her hands then hands over two glasses of water
- fish n chip restaurant waitress sneezes into her hands wipes hands on tea towel then uses to wipe glasses and cutlery
- village pub with no soap in the toilet
- trains with no running water or soap in toilets
It takes only one infected person forced into work by Wetherspoon to infect everyone in the bar.
Tim Martin boss of J D Wetherspoon has form, low pay, zero hours, opposed increase in rate of minimum wage, crap service, food not good.
I would urge everyone to boycott J D Wetherspoon.
Government is bringing in emergency legislation. This must include forcing bad employers like J D Wetherspoon to pay sick pay, and if any employee has been forced to return to work, hit with a a heavy fine, and if Wetherspoon has forced anyone into work, close down their pubs.
The emergency legislation must also oblige insurance companies to pay for cancelled holidays, to cover the cost if stranded overseas.
