I wouldnt work 6 days for 12 hours, I went to work in a food factory the other week just to keep the bills paid, it was £5.73p an hour and they said overtime was compulsary most days so that they got the food out, I did one day 14 hour shift with a hour and half break, and no one to talk to because they are all immigrants. Quit after the day.
been there.
we do need to be careful blaming the imported workers. it the temp agency's that are to blame. despite there being no jobs, they are still recruiting and bringing people over. its the tax fiddles and the scams of these leaches(agency's) that are causing, much of the problems we face. along with increased greed by employers who use the situation to increase work load whilst, reducing the workers income, to supplement their own. around here you will not get a job, unless you sign away your rights under the working time directive. still that problem wont last long. the right to "opt out" of the directive, is to be removed. and finally employers will have to start paying a living wage, without the need to work 60 hour+. they are kicking and screaming about it. but i see no reason why an employer should be able to force the rest of us to pay, because they are too greedy to pay a descent wage. every person on low wages has their income topped up via different benefits. and we all pay for that. its hard to understand why everyone else should pay, so an employer can bolster their own profits. its absolute cock thay they cant afford to pay, they never seem to do too badly themselfs.
