Warning of Christmas staff shortages at M&S depot in Swindon
The GMB union claims staff are leaving in droves due to low wages
Low wages for workers at Marks and Spencer's distribution centre in Swindon are said to be putting Christmas deliveries "at risk".
That's according to the GMB trade union, which claims staff are leaving in droves to take higher paid jobs.
It's now urging M&S to immediately increase wages and resolve what GMB calls a "staffing crisis".
Andy Newman, GMB branch secretary for Wiltshire, warns:
“Staffing levels are now so stretched that individuals are being refused holidays, and GMB is calling on Marks and Spencer to act urgently to increase wages, to resolve their staffing crisis.”
M&S denies there are staffing issues at its site in Swindon.
