Get in contact

We want this website to be a place where Sainsbury’s staff can have a public voice without compromising their job security.

We are collecting staff testimony and experience of life working in Sainsbury’s. Please email payupinfo@gmail.com if you have anything to say. We have a telephone number solely for use by anyone who works for Sainsbury’s. You can call it on 0777831614.

Please don’t provide us any of your personal details over the phone. We recommend that you do not use your personal phone. We highly recommend that you use an email account to communicate with us that does not give any clues as to your name or identity.

If you could send a message to Justin king, what would you say?

About Pay Up

Pay Up was started by ex supermarket staff, including Sainsbury’s employees and activists from UK Uncut, Occupy, trade unions, community, and environmental organisations.

We have five core aims:

To make poverty pay a political issue in the UK that can no longer be ignored

To generate a public debate on the relationship between labour and capital

To make Sainsbury’s the UK’s first major Living Wage retailer

To see a living wage implemented across as much of the economy as possible, starting with profitable big business

To promote workplace self-organisation and unions

To foster joint campaigning and organisation between union and civil disobedience activists

We are a national network built on the model of UK Uncut. We need to build local alliances, get to our local Sainsbury’s store, start building networks of workers, trade unionists and activists, and make some noise. Visit our action centre to get in contact with other people in your area, and to register your actions.
