Labour Issues
In 2007 the current affairs programme Newsnight reported on the alleged poor treatment of Domino's Pizza employees. Workers at one franchise claimed to be victims of "modern day slavery", according to union T&G Unite, with money unlawfully deducted from the workers' pay sometimes leaving workers being paid nothing or even made to pay the company. Some of the deductions made by the company included the costs of insuring the cars used to deliver pizzas, and one worker was deducted all her wages for the first week of work because the franchise designated it "unpaid training". Then-CEO of the company Stephen Hemsley denied that such issues were systemic within the franchise network.

Famous quotes containing the words labour and/or issues:
“Let no one till his death
Be called unhappy. Measure not the work
Until the day’s out and the labour done.”

“To make life more bearable and pleasant for everybody, choose the issues that are significant enough to fight over, and ignore or use distraction for those you can let slide that day. Picking your battles will eliminate a number of conflicts, and yet will still leave you feeling in control.”
