GMB, the union for Asda workers, has responded to Asda’s announcement they will shut the majority of their stores on boxing day.

Roger Jenkins, GMB National Officer, said:

“GMB has been requesting Asda to allow their key worker heros family time over the Christmas period, so we are really pleased they have agreed to our calls.

“It’s a shame this is not an extra days holiday - workers will have to book a day of their annual leave entitlement.

“But it’s a step in the right direction and GMB now calls on the rest of the retail sector to follow suit and repay these key workers with a chance to spend Boxing Day with their loved ones.”
