Bath & Body Works Fair Workweek

Bath & Body Works’ parent company -- L Brands -- has announced that it will end on-call shifts in its U.S. stores starting in October 2015 joining other major retailers like Abercrombie & Fitch and the Gap.

End call-in shifts that make it nearly impossible to have a second job and result in unpredictable pay. Employees should be able to sign-up for extra shifts as needed by the company.

Why is this important?

It's important because if you are struggling to earn a living, two or more jobs may be required. These call-in shifts require you to be available for their business needs, yet if they do not need you that day, you missed out on possibly having a guaranteed shift elsewhere. It makes it difficult for those who have school, need childcare, use public transportation, or just having a life outside of work in general. Please let's stop this unpredictable scheduling! It does not give us any value as employees as everything else solely revolves around business needs!
