JD Sports to investigate Kingsway worker conditions
JD Sports said it would begin an investigation of the Rochdale site. The Channel 4 News report also claims that employees are not paid for queuing outside the Kingsway distribution centre and that workers on zero-hours contracts are sometimes sent home if JD Sports determines that there is not enough for them to do. JD Sports employs 1,232 workers at the site, which is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week by a combination of employees and agency staff from Assist Recruitment. Kingsway supplies all of JD Sports' stores in the UK and most of those abroad, as well as fulfilling online orders. Rival sportswear retailer Sports Direct has also come under fire for working conditions at its Shirebrook warehouse.
