The only thing i can say in the BNP dude`s defense is it`s much easier to judge him as a ******ed racist ***** if you live and work in a community with a low level of overseas people competing for houses jobs and local resources. I live and work in Stratford where we have the highest level of non British residents, the highest crime rate and 70% of my company`s workforce are not British, i was told in a meeting that they are looking at reducing staffing levels even though the business has trousered more than £100m profit in just 2 years, they are looking at recruiting staff on zero hour contracts with no holiday entitlement or job security. I imagine the only British staff will be managers in the next 5 years, the bullshit about an Olympic legacy and regenerating the local economy has been replaced with the prospect of East European slave labor. I am lucky enough to be able to eventually emigrate to China or Spain but for kids leaving school in East London it is a depressing prospect. Hull seems like a total **** hole and if you can`t find work or social housing yet see people moving in and having these then the BNP may seem like a sensible option to young angry people like the OP.
First serious post of the year SN? I'm basing things on my own (more recent) experience, which is maybe at the middle-higher end of the skills market - but I believe good people are hard to find and you look after them when you find them. Hiring and disposing of staff is time consuming and painful and takes away from the more enjoyable things I do - it takes a good year for someone to be fully trained and the last thing you want is to lose them for **** all after you have just put so much effort into them and then have to do ball-ache recruitments again. So yeah, I don't understand at all why zero-hours contracts would be attractive to an employer who needs any sort of competence at a job. I suspect then that these types of zero-hour jobs may be for people who are low skilled and are easily replaceable, otherwise the marketplace would treat them better. Not that I think this is 'right' at all (or I have any easy solutions), but I'd suggest a way to hedge against your own children competing at this end of the market is to make sure they get a decent education.
Well maybe you think that way but when Thatcher shut down/privatised all your industries/state companies she left a hell of a hole to fill and private companies were never gonna fill it and hence generational unemployment and living off welfare is a way of life,just saying.
Hull's not a ****hole. It's still relatively untouched by the disaster that is multiculturalism, for now. #cityofculture2017
only joined this thread, but for the sake of humanity I hope this is ironic parody from another hash account
I was taking everything you had previously said as genuine and serious opinion until that statement. Now I know you're at the wind-up.
Casino staff ie pitboss, inspectors and croupiers are licensed professionals with strict CRB checks and extensive training so i would consider the trade as skilled labor, unfortunately people from Hungary Slovakia Italy and Czec Republic mainly are taking jobs on £10k less than their home grown counterparts. I can not blame them and if i was in their position i would travel to earn money for my family too , but casino jobs are not widely available for "foreigners" in their own countries plus the salary would be about 30% of mine. Mick you live on a small Island so the pool of human resources is minute compared to London ,and your comparison of a small bookies and a Super Casino is not really valid. I have served more than two years so i am less expendable as i have the right to a tribunal but many people in my company are at risk . The OP says Hull is smashing with very few people from overseas so he is just a deluded f**kwit or Hash with a lot of time on his hands.
Especially some manky Yorkshire hingoot whom even the Ripper discarded as "no worth the effort" 30 some years ago.
It's pretty obviously British employment law that's at fault here, for allowing zero hours contracts, and a **** minimum wage (we were one of the last West European countries to introduce a minimum wage). Those are the sort of the "freedoms" the right in this country want to protect from the meddlers in Brussels. Sounds to me like the problem in your workplace is, you're employed by bastards. And you don't have a Union worthy of the name.
Not really. This place is so quiet today I'm perma-beeling about Leigh Griffiths and attempting to goad ST into an argument on the GM thread. I hate myself so much.
Are you talking about the mines that she closed down, as they were costing the government a ****ing fortune and it was the only real option?
