Off Topic OLOF's political thread

Our workers rights exceed those of the EU now and if I'm not happy with my rights as a worker I will cast my vote to change the government.
It's rich Labour MPs whining about EU workers rights when they can do what they want when they get elected. They're basically saying that we can't trust them!

 

And as I said; if I knew it had a very good chance of becoming illegal then I'd think twice about making such a cast iron guarantee.

 

Glad we agree it was not law at the time then.

 

Yep I never mentioned it being the law.

Do you agree that no ifs and no buts is not the same as saying no ifs and no buts unless new law passes that make it difficult?

 

I'm confused.

So we are not leaving Europe now until January?

I thought the vote went in the Governments favour?

Also, is there a chance that Brexit be cancelled altogether

 

You have an all powerful casting vote that can change governments?

 

Of course it's not the same, but why add the later if it weakens the point being made.

 

However I think EU workers rights are much stronger than US workers rights.

 

Because one would be the truth and the other is about to be proven to be a lie.

 

I was hoping that Johnson was going to be dead in a ditch but alas more hopes dashed on the rocks of reality

 

Without a doubt.

 

They would both be the truth at the time.

 

Bit like Labour,Lib, SNP we want an election, OK you can have one, ow hang on we don't want one really, we will all be on the dole if we have one.

What they don't realise people are getting pissed off with them and they are losing votes every day.

 

So in what way are Zero hr contracts stronger than US workers rights.

compared to

The biggest difference between US employment law and UK employment law is that the US has something called ‘at will’ employment. The UK does not. This means that, in the USA, employers can terminate an employment relationship without notice, for any reason, so long as doing so is not a violation of a protected class.

Seems exactly like Zero hrs to me.

 

Miles apart, in the UK you are still employed, you just don't get any work or pay.

 

Always thought you had a selective memory
