Email to Tesco explaining why I am boycotting them….

I have sent this email to senior management and CEO at Tesco explaining why I am boycotting them and encouraging others to do the same.

To whom it may concern,

As you will have read, Sainsbury’s and Waterstones have ceased using unpaid labour in stores. Unfortunately, Tesco, it seems, will carry on using unpaid labour i.e. workfare or euphemistically known as “work placements” rather than paying fair and decent wages. This is a shameful, squalid and disgusting scheme especially in this current economic climate.

Profits are made off the backs of unpaid labour and because of this I will be boycotting Tesco from now onwards and will encourage other people to do the same due to this demeaning practice of workfare.

But then your saying is, “every little helps”…

I trust I will receive a reply explaining why Tesco feels compelled in involving itself in a squalid scheme like workfare.
