Weekend work | Wilko employees to strike over 'brutal' new rotas

As soon as it hits Monday, most employees are counting the days until its Friday again so they can down tools, spend time with their family and catch-up with friends over a coffee in the park. Not only is a break away from work good for productivity, it gives employees time to recharge the batteries so that they walk into the office on Monday morning feeling refreshed.

However, 1,500 Wilko employees will stage a walk-out in protest over a “brutal” new system which has proposed seven-day rota schedules – The Mirror reported.
