Archbishop is caught out over Amazon attack

The Archbishop of Canterbury has come under fire after it emerged the Church of England uses zero-hour contracts and invests in Amazon – despite his attacks on both during a speech earlier this week.

Speaking at the TUC Congress, Justin Welby criticised firms like Amazon for paying “almost nothing” in taxes and described zero-hours contracts as “the reincarnation of an ancient evil”. It has now been revealed at least two Church of England cathedrals are advertising zerohours contract jobs.
