TUPE (Sainsbury) right or wrong

[panda]

This week for all involved is too much, guys on lists who have never worked in JS never mind parked in a JS whats going on.The more established firms are well versed in this but feel sorry for the guys concerned at Wr as it seems like survival of the fittest or who buys the service manager the most pints at the bar...

End users make a stand its our lively hoods on the line..

Guys

Sorry for the rant just frustrated that's all..

if i am correct you can only get tupe over if you work about 70% of your time on that contract so u cannot be forced over.and why would u get pushed over if youve never worked on js stores if you have the contract surley you must have worked in one of there stores at some point.

The incoming contractor has the right to see time sheets and worksheets showing the nominated Tupee person does work on the relevant contract.

If no proof or inadequate proof is given then the Tupee is rejected, unless the new contractor needs the staff.
