TRADERS at Barnsley’s May Day Green Market claim they are being bullied into working more days than ever before due to plans for the market to open in full on Mondays.
At present traders in the temporary market hall work four days - Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.
But now the council is set to introduce a new contract which requires them to open their stalls on Mondays too.
And when the new Metropolitan Centre opens the council says the market will be open six days a week.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
