Boots workers to strike against ‘fire and rehire’ policies
WORKERS who make cosmetics and pharmaceuticals sold by Boots are set to strike against “fire and rehire” policies.
Manufacturer BCM Fareva, based in Nottingham, supplies products to the health and beauty retailer and other outlets.
Retail and distribution union Usdaw says BCM has threatened to “fire and rehire” its staff to cut pay and worsen conditions — a tactic being used by dozens of employers across Britain and affecting two million workers, according to the TUC.
