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:
“Through throats where many rivers meet, the curlews cry,
Under the conceiving moon, on the high chalk hill,
And there this night I walk in the white giant’s thigh
Where barrren as boulders women lie longing still
To labour and love though they lay down long ago.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“Cynicism formulates issues clearly, but only to dismiss them.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
