Asda is a profitable company that does not need to enforce redundancies.

In March we were promised legislation to protect the cash industry.
Now the industry is on a knife-edge and we still haven't seen action.
Thanks @SarahOwen_ for speaking up during yesterday's Westminster Hall debate ↓
When technology transforms industries, our laws must keep up.
And the rate of change in the cash industry has been extraordinary.
@bphillipsonMP right to raise the question of ensuring public benefit, while enabling commercial success, in this week’s Westminster Hall debate ↓
This is a crushing blow.
A cashless society would not only cost thousands of jobs & SMEs - but damage the lives of the elderly and the vulnerable.
The Government must step in and act 👇

This is the kind of algorithmic management and data surveillance which is the new frontier of control. Workers need strong unions to safeguard their data and privacy.
