Indeed, everyone has the right to look for a different well paid job. If they believe they will be paid better then go for it. No one has the right to demand a certain pay check because they can control the operational aspects of a company. If you are worth it, go and get it. However, if you are not, then get on with the job ……
I would love to get on with my job, but Shapps and co, want Me to take a pay cut , raid my pension and are engaged in political game to smash the union rather than talk to them.
While sacking thousands and replacing them with agency staff on worse conditions and pay, for instance we have station cleaners employed by iss who are on minimum wage, they are still waiting for the rise in pay from when the wage went up in May.
The so called mass of vacancies are in this area minimum wage or just above .
That just means anybody with kids gets benefits and we the tax payer subside the companies profits, look at the likes of Boots average hours was 32 a week when the tories came to power its now below 16 , reason the company don't have to make a nation insurance payment at those levels.
The majority will be young woman.
The problem for the country is that the race to the bottom we are in and have been for years in the job market , has finally hit the bottom, people are not taking just any job, for instance at the airports ect, the wages on offer will not entice staff and certainly will not keep them , why stay? they get the same money anywhere, why do a hard job when there is an easier job around the corner.
In Spain for instance there is a shortage of holiday workers , bar staff ect because the work involves long hours low pay, Benidorm has a 4000 staff shortfall alone so it's not just a UK problem.
Any man or Woman should have the right to legally withdraw there labour in any civilised society, we are not slaves , and the alternative is civil disturbance if you take the right to withold your labour, do you really want to go down that path?
The tory government have also raised the fines for Unions Up to a million pounds for calling unlawful strikes from about 200,00 its an attack on the unions that is underway.
The flaw in the government strategy is most of the big employment agencies are part of a group who globally have a charter than says they will not supply staff when a company has labour problems.
Its a standard of service garrentee , if you havnt got it you will not get any big contracts.
That means you will get scab employment agencies set up by mates of tory ministers more than likely , that will put these workers (scabs) in then more than see likely then collapse, because nobody will work with a company in the future, look at the two agencies that supplied the staff for PO both on there arse after taking the dirty money.
What a seedy horrible world these Tories want us to live in.
