The This Morning studio turned tense on Friday morning, as hosts Vernon Kay and Josie Gibson poured over the headlines on the ITV daytime show.
The TV presenters, who are standing in for regular hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield during their summer break, were joined by Matthew Wright and Gyles Brandreth.
The conversation on the sofas turned to the hundreds of workers who walked out from an Essex warehouse after being offered an hourly wage increase of 35p per hour, despite demanding a £2 hourly bump.
