GMB UNION CONCERN WITH ASDA ROYAL FUNERAL WORKING ARRANGEMENTS

Asda trade union update on Royal Funeral bank holiday for members

The GMB trade union is urging Asda to get it right on this.

The GMB trade union is concerned that Asda's bank holiday working arrangements will not allow sufficient flexibility to those staff who want to pay their last respects to Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth.

Asda have said that stores will open at 5pm, however a skeleton staff will be required, as will a night team, with double time being offered for all hours worked.

ASDA UNION GMB UPDATE FOR HOT WEATHER

ASDA union GMB hot weather update

Make sure managers are meeting their duty of care.

Just a few thoughts on what we can do to help one another in the heat:

  • Ensuring members are carrying resealable water bottles.

  • Agreeing extra breaks on behalf of Porters and Warehouse colleagues (see Hot Weather Guidance attached)

  • Porters and drivers must avoid direct sunlight for long periods. Hats, Lip Protector and Sunscreen should be available to them as PPE.

  • Remind drivers that entering properties is at their own discretion. Large blocks of flats may need to be avoided to prevent over exertion.
