Shocking revelations here

Workers are:
• Harangued by public address system for not working fast enough.
• Warned they will be sacked if they receive six black marks – or “strikes” – over a six-month period. Offences that earn strikes include: a “period of reported sickness”; “errors”; “excessive/long toilet breaks”; “time wasting”; “excessive chatting”; “horseplay”; and “using a mobile phone in the warehouse”.
• Banned from wearing 802 separate clothing brands at work.
• Made to go through rigorous searches – down to the last layer of clothing, asked to roll up trouser legs and show the top of underwear – which typically takes 15 minutes, because management are so concerned about potential theft.
Meanwhile, local primary school teachers have also told the Guardian that pupils can remain in school while ill – and return home to empty houses – because parents working at Sports Direct are too frightened to take time off work.
