Seconded. Whilst they're at it, they should make Zero Hour contracts illegal as well.:up:

Mike.

I agree then lets see what the true unemployment figures are instead of what the lying Tories say is.

Governments don't move goalposts, Badgers do. :03:

:har: :har::up:

The only possibility of that (and a small one at that) would be a Labour government giving in to trade union pressure.

Does those figures mean 5 million people on benefits in the UK, not 'workers'. Because 2 million of those mentioned are foreigners who have no right to benefits in our country.

David Cameron...."The NHS is safe in our hands".

Forgive me if I find that hard to go along with after a NHS leaflet came though my letter box today. My nearest A+E about 7 miles away will be closing this October making the next nearest A+E over 12 miles away! :nope:

Well that's real nice of the twisted tory party, thanks for nothing. :mad:

The Tory toffs hate the NHS they try to destroy it every time they get in power, bastards they are.

Tribe - how long have you lived here in the UK?

Less than 5 years, yes no entitlement
Over 5 years yes, but only if you have been working

Who says?

The Law

As much as I dislike the Unions tendency to play politics rather than actually represent the people they're supposed to, this is one area where Labour could safely do a U-Turn. It actually might be a vote winner as the concept isn't exactly popular with ordinary working people.:hmmm:

Zero Hour contracts are a utter travesty. Ordinary people fought long and hard for things like holidays with pay and paid sick leave. I've no desire to see working conditions slip back to a pre-WW2 level.:down:

Mike.

On that we certainly do agree :yep:

I would like to see a return to full time employment rather than large companies hiring only casuals who they can hire and fire at whim, do not have to give them holidays or pension contributions and save a relative fortune.

A certain company near me does this and the casuals ring up and say, I'm not coming in today, and there is nothing the company can do, and one region where the casual cannot be fired, going on the 'sick'.

This in turn drops all the other staff in the brown stuff as they have to cover that person at no extra pay.

no wonder this country is down the drain

And then I ask the 3 Slovene's I know that live and work in the UK and they say it's paradise :doh: Average wage in UK €2500, Slovenia €1000, cost of food, same, outside major cities apartment rents are the same and taxes are lower :nope:

If UK is going down the drain, that means we are already drowning in sewage :O:
