Tesco and BP Discriminating against Local Workers

LE | 03.02.2009 16:30 | Workers' Movements | Liverpool

Tesco and BP are both operating secret recruitment practices which exclude local workers from applying for local jobs in favour of workers brought in from abroad.

Tesco: Only management positions are advertised on its website, shop assistant positions are not advertised on Jobcentre Plus or anywhere. How an application can be made for a position is a mystery.

BP: its retail arm BP Retail UK does not have a web site, it uses an employment agency maccarthyrecruitment.com but again only management positions are advertised. Shop assistant positions are not advertised even with Jobcentre Plus, these positions are filled by a mystery process which excludes local workers.

The law does not state that vacancies have to be advertised but failure to do so could constitute a discriminatory act if prosecuted.
