Peacocks exposed: Apply for a job – get workfare!

Reblogged from Boycott Workfare:

Rejected for a job at Peacocks but working for free at the store.

Another high street chain has now been exposed as using workfare: Peacocks have taken on workfare placements instead of hiring staff. 

London Boycott Workfare is taking action at 1pm, on Sat 1st March at the Peacocks store on Seven Sisters Road, Holloway. We invite other groups to pay a visit to your local store and put the pressure on for Peacocks to pay its staff!

This person’s story shows how this practice means job applications are ignored when free labour is on offer instead. Another report has come in that the Sutton store has 10 workfare placements at one time. Please find out what’s going on at your local store too and let us know!

Can’t make it to a store on Saturday 1 March?
Let Peacocks know what you think on their social media channels:
