Frasers Group chairman urges Unite to avoid ‘reckless’ strikeSir Jonathan Thompson became Chair of Frasers in September.
The chairman of retail giant Frasers Group has urged Unite the Union to avoid “reckless and irresponsible” strike action as retail firms across the UK feel the crunch of rising cost pressures.
Frasers, which includes brands such as Sports Direct, Flannels, GAME, and Jack Wills, paid £530m in taxes during the last financial year.
“I strongly urge you to reconsider, as I believe such action would be reckless and irresponsible,” Thompson wrote.
Frasers urges Union to reconsider strike after pay increasesThompson said that, despite rising pressures, Frasers had delivered total increases in warehouse basic pay of 33 per cent for day shifts, 37 per cent for evening shifts, and 42 per cent for night shifts.
