Thank you everyone, all 121,000 of you, who have signed and shared this petition.
There are now just weeks left of the consultation and I am one of 9,000 loyal Sainsbury's employees being given the Hobson’s choice of
SIGN OR RESIGN
Therefore, I'm asking you to take further action so they cannot keep ignoring us. Please write to your local MP to ask them to write directly to Sainsbury’s CEO Mike ‘in the money’ Coupe and to share our petition. 114 MPs have already pledged their support. Here is a sample letter I have written, or please feel free to compose your own:

Dear (insert name of MP)
I am writing to you as a constituent who will be directly negatively affected/ is appalled (delete as appropriate) by the appalling contract changes being enforced upon Sainsbury's employees that will see 9,000 longstanding and loyal staff suffer a significant pay cut of up to £3,000. Sainsbury’s are scrapping paid breaks and Sunday premium pay, they are shortening the night shift, and they are removing the shop floor staff bonus scheme. Those affected have no option to reject these changes, just sign or resign.
I believe this is grossly unfair and I have joined over 120,000 colleagues and customers in signing a staff led petition calling for a show of loyalty.

I would appreciate it if you could write directly to Mr Coupe before the end of our staff consultation to encourage him to show his longstanding staff the loyalty that they deserve.
I would be grateful if you could also sign and share the petition.
Many thanks,
(Your name)

Please note it doesn't matter which Party your MP represents as we need all the help we can get as we are fighting for workers’ rights in a very hostile environment.
I sincerely thank you all,
