PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
ARGOS AND COMPULSORY SUNDAY WORKING IN SCOTLAND (23 June 2002)

That this House deplores the behaviour of Argos, who are ruthlessly exploiting a loophole in the law, whereby shop workers in Scotland are not given the protection which is enjoyed throughout the rest of the United Kingdom, and sacking staff who between them have given years of loyal service to the company if they will not accept compulsory Sunday working, thus discriminating in particular against those who have family commitments or religious objections, and in general against employees in Scotland.
