Zero Hour Contracts?

[jambay5 191]

We sat down and came up with a way to save money or lose 20 job then put it to the vote! Sadly me giving up 18 1/2 hours would not make a difference in this case as its not in my department!

 

Talks are on going to end the practice, even some of our hard line right wingers like you, think people should have some standard of living

Im sorry but as the sayin goes charity begins at home and if the gaffa came to me and said i can get 30 / 40 / 50 hours next week its up to me or he can give them all / half / some to someone else, id say fcuk that i'll do the lot

 

why put myself in a compromising position where id be out of pocket

Oh, not in your department......I see.....so that's a no then !! Lol lol

 

I am sure they could just transfer the money they pay you to them? But then again, never having worked for a firm I am not that up on these things

 

But I am sure that if you were in the same department you would donate half your hours seeing as you feel that strongly about it, right?

 

Or is it just easier to be generous with someone else's money ( in this case the firms) than with your own?

My job at the moment is zero hour contract but we can more aless choose if we want the hours. Will get asked if any days we can't do at the start of the week. Get the time sheet and come in and attend the funeral. Can shoot off after that or if you want come back and help the full time staff. Suits me as some days it's nice to have an early finish. If I want to I can give a hand to the full time staff and make up some coffins or dress the deceased. Always something that needs doing if you wanna get your hours up. Most weeks I'm doing full time hours but nice to have the choice. All that goes out the window in the new year though as I'm going full time

Think yourself lucky mate, plenty of folk with families in recent years have been made redundant at Christmas time.

 

good post baw .its exploitation of the working classes .it wouldnt happen if we had strong unions .years ago [BANNED TEXT] privatisation broke the back of the economy there was work every where and people had rights .if some one wasnt pulling theyre weight they were gone and rightly so .But the profiteers couldnt kick some one in the guts just to save paying em a bit of holiday pay or a weeks notice .
