The demonstration was for Equal Pay and also the amount of hours that have been reduced in Asda Stores since the Issa Brothers and TDR Capital took over, which for Kettering is 11% of the stores employees have disappeared through cuts in hours.
The Equal Pay back pay owed in the Kettering Store is £3.8 Million in owed wages.  On the 3rd of July Neil Gardiner GMB Representative at ASDA in Kettering held another recruitment day with the theme being a combination of a picnic and bingo event.
Through the ASDA Kettering WhatsApp group the members decided they would like an Amazon gift card as the prize, So Neil did £1 a ball each. Also on the day Neil bought loads of cakes, fizzy drinks, and biscuits to go with the picnic theme.  Alfred and Neil organised another recruitment day on the 5/4/24 at Asda in Kettering. This time they made an advent calendar, and bought 10 Easter eggs and hid the winning numbers in envelopes on the advent calendar.

A great recruitment event and well done to Laura, Lorraine and Neil for organising - and what great Halloween costumes.

More photos below:  It was a privilege to join the RMT on their picket line in Kettering on Thursday 23rd June. It’s important that our union stands by the RMT, indeed any union who is forced into a dispute over members terms and conditions and the very survival of jobs that support them and their families
