Domino's Pizza Guilty of exploation

On BBC's Newsnight they have a story about what is a terrible and horrific case of worker expolitation in the UK.

Acotrding to Newsnight, Domino's Pizza have been illegally deducting pay from workers, sometimes leaving them in with negitive pay (as in - £200), the deductions have never been explained to the workers, nor to the unions.

What makes the sitution more sickerning is that they have sacked eight workers, who they claim had no right to work in the UK, however this came shortly after the workers complained about the terrible pay and conditions that they have to endure.

What makes this sitution worse is that the workers have their accomindation tied to their job, so the sacked workers now face the prospect of being homeless, aswell as jobless.

I really hope that the government takes action so that situtions like this don't happen, they must ensure that accomination is not tied to job, and enforce the minimum wage and close any loop holes which allow for wages to go into the negitives and the workers to be in debt to the company.

The government must do more to promote and protect workers rights, to ensure that all workers get, and can take collective action for, good pay and conditions in their places of work, and ensure that our pay and conditions are not underminded by employers who expolit immigrants, and that immigrants know what rights they have as a employee in this country.
