The union said Asda workers have been told to sign new contracts, called contract six, which it claims will see them lose paid breaks and forced to work bank holidays, or be sacked next month. Gary Carter, GMB national officer said: "Tens of thousands of members of the public are backing our Asda workers in their fight against these draconian contracts. One reader told Mirror Money the changes have left her feeling "disposable" as undervalued as an employee. "Everyone I've discussed it with has been told that if they don’t sign the contract, they will be 'let go' of. "We understand colleagues have commitments outside of work and will not be asking them to constantly move the time they work, their days or departments."
