Commenting on Channel 4’s exposure of working conditions at a JD Sports warehouse, TUC General Secretary Frances O’Grady said:

“These are degrading conditions to work in. The practices exposed at JD Sports show just how little value some companies attach to their staff.

“JD Sports’ initial response – denying the problems – doesn’t instil confidence.

“It’s increasingly clear that Sports Direct wasn’t just one bad apple, and that terrible working practices are taking place across the UK.

“The government needs to look seriously at how this sort of behaviour continues to take place in today’s Britain.

“Unions in workplaces can stamp out this sort of abuse. I would encourage anyone working in a warehouse like this to join a union and ensure that management cannot ignore their voice.”
