VODKA REVOLUTION, WILMSLOW ROAD, MANCHESTER AND PAYMENT OF BAR STAFF

Early day motion 2138, tabled 5 September 2011 by Gerald Kaufman (Labour). Signed by 16 members.

That this House notes that those in Fallowfield applying for bar staff posts at Vodka Revolution, Wilmslow Road are required to work for a full day for no pay under the practice of trying out and are promised that they will be paid if appointed, then are not appointed; believes this practice to be unethical and possibly illegal; and further believes that both potential employees and customers of Vodka Revolution, Wilmslow Road should be made aware of its policy on non-payment of those who work a trial day and are not subsequently employed.

Signatures by party: Labour 14, Liberal Democrat 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
