It is time to re-visit legislation which gives shop workers fewer rights now than they had in the 1950s.

Workers used to have statutory rights to earn more wages on a Sunday and have regular Sunday’s off.
Looking back on the industrial year in the Island, Peter Murcott says it’s clear workers’ rights need to be improved:
