truck off

"help make sure their "associates" spend their pitiful wages to help shore up the director level "associates" bonuses."

Hmmm. Once upon a time, some employers were in the habit of paying their workers in tokens that could only be spent in the company's own shop. A recently revived version of the same concept is to force workers (often fake self-employed workers without much legal protection) to use "officially approved" safety equipment which can only be bought in the (overpriced) company shop.

Anybody know much about the Truck Acts (in the UK anyway) which made this kind of madness illegal?

Something better change.
