SHOPWORKERS’ leaders condemned government plans today to let supermarkets open for 24 hours a day on Sundays as “misguided.”
The government is considering suspending trading laws limiting supermarket Sunday opening times to six hours, in an attempt to boost the economy.
Shopworkers’ union Usdaw said that its members were already working under “huge pressures” due to the coronavirus crisis.
