CoE’s zero-hours contracts revealed

THE Church of England uses zero-hour contracts and invests in Amazon – despite both being attacked in a speech by the Archbishop of Canterbury earlier this week.

Speaking at the TUC Congress in Manchester, Justin Welby criticised firms like Amazon for paying “almost nothing” in taxes, and condemned zero-hours contracts.

It has now been revealed that at least two Church of England cathedrals are advertising zero-hours contract jobs, while retailer Amazon is one of its 20 biggest investments worldwide.
