The last few weeks have seen the announcement that at least 11,000 jobs could be lost, as House of Fraser prepares to close over half of it’s UK stores, Poundworld confirms closing down sales across the country and M&S face financial trouble.
The majority of House of Fraser’s staff, 76%, are female, most of whom are in non-senior, part-time roles, i.e. on the shop floor. The same goes for other high-street shops - Poundland’s workforce is more female than it is male, with men holding more senior positions, similar to M&S.
The Guardian wants to hear from these people to know how they are being affected by the redundancies.
