ALDI and LIDL staff are self employed with NO holiday pay,no sickness benefit and pay their own NI and tax
If that is really true I would suggest that HMRC will be salivating at the prospect of what ALDI and LIDL will have to pay when HMRC choose to investigate.
The "make 'em work as self-employed" idea to avoid paying the employer's NI contribution was always a myth, even when lots of people (including us...that's how I know) tried it on. There's a number of tests, none of which is what either party chooses to call the arrangement.
The employers may well find themselves liable for paying not only their NIC, but also the unpaid PAYE, interest and probably a huge fine.
But we are not, and never will, be prepared to see our members and our union humiliated, victimised and reduced to ruins, as you seem to want - NEVER
That's a coincidence; that's pretty much exactly what everybody is hoping for, apart from a hard core in BASSA and UNITE's dreadful leadership, and it seems pretty much inevitable that it is exactly what they are going to get.
