@adamtheatre @ChangelingThe @EquityUK @TheMandyNetwork Thanks Adam, the SMC are aware of this advert and contact has been made with Mandy and flagged with our union. It is not acceptable for this kind job description to become common place and it’s important to call out these adverts if they continue to be published.

Hey @ChangelingThe Do your audience know you want 1 person to do 8 jobs on low pay, ignoring the law on holiday pay? Understand this is long term business model. How is this role fair (or safe)? @EquityUK @EquitySM @TheMandyNetwork let’s see action please to stop exploitation.
