@SaffronBeer people on low incomes are usually pleased to get longer hours at work and especially at higher Sunday rates. I was.
@OzmaLionheart @SaffronBeer it never happened in the media! Under the law, employers cannot force staff to work on Sundays.

@JuliaHB1 if I wanted2 opt out my company would tell me it's not right4the business and ask me to leave. Unless I had a damm good excuse -
@OzmaLionheart and you'd be free to look for another job while I was free to shop when I wanted. I can live with that. -
@JuliaHB1 Why should I look for another job when I am happy in my current one? ? Just so you can buy a loaf of bread?? Jog on!

-
@OzmaLionheart well, if you're happy, why are you complaining? -
@JuliaHB1 because you are proposing longer opening hours without considering the working people it will affect. -
@OzmaLionheart no, I have considered the effect on workers and I believe that their plight is unfortunate but not a reason to limit freedom

@JuliaHB1 if you try to opt out they will work you out. Most modern retail contracts state you must be willing to work ANY day of the week. -
@OzmaLionheart yes, I know. But if you work in retail, as with restaurants, NHS, police, etc, you should expect weekend working. -
@JuliaHB1 if they kept it law that you can't be asked to work more than 6 hours on Sunday I'm in other wise I'd vote no. -
@OzmaLionheart I don't think you get to vote on it, I'm afraid. We live in a 24/7 society, get over it.
