This was years ago when I just left college. I applied for a supermarket job (UK) stocking shelves on Nightshift. It was advertised as 36 hours a week at £7.00 per hour (this is way before minimum wage).
I go to interview at a huge national store (sounds like hesco)
4 of us there, we are all given a questionnaire and told openly that it's just a personal choice thing to see how we would mesh in the job and there is no wrong answers.
First 3 go in one at a time all leaving with a face showing anger.
I go in interviewer goes through the questionnaire marking certain responses as “wrong answer” then tells me I have to join the union as they run a closed shop and that the job is afternoon shift and only 16 hours at £5.
I refuse to sign the contract offer and report this to the job centre to be told “closed shop or forced union membership is illegal and they misrepresented the job clearly”.
I took s job 2days later as a night Watchman for £9.59 per hour.
These days I'm medically disabled, but thought I'd share this old tale from my past
