MP reassured over Olympic Sunday trading (From The Oxford Times)

A concern?

It would be an absolute positive if England & Wales were brought into line with the more civilised parts of the UK that allow 24 hour trading on Sundays.

and what about the workers??? When Sunday trading was brought in, we were told it would not be compulsory, that soon changed to be part of the working week. We was told that anyone who worked a Sunday would get extra money, more lies. a Sunday is now classed as a normal working day. So anyone who works Saturday and Sunday get the same pay as someone working Monday and Tuesday.

What makes retail staff special?

Andrew have you not a brain, if people want to work sunday's then they go into a trade that does that (hotels, bars, restaurants) but if you have a contract Mon-Fri/Tues-Sat then why should you have to give up your religion because the Tories want to increase profits for their contributors. Will you see the M.D. of Tesco, Sainsburys, etc going in to man the checkout on a sunday?

Works just fine in Scotland (which is still part of the UK).

Major supermarkets open 24 hours on a Sunday, High Street stores usually open 9-6ish.

You can even shop at Amazon 24hrs on a Sunday (just like England).

Let's have other parts of scottish law as well then, free prescriptions, free higher education just for starters, but this is about people being forced through threat of the sack to give up the one day of the week that they can be with their family. And what about my question about the MDs?

The MDs?

They'll be on their Iphones or Blackberries monitoring sales performance on a "live" feed.

On their backs, being serviced by their maids, more like.
