That sounds like minimum wage, or just below!!

Do you work for a small or large outfit Rentachimp? Those wages remind me of a figure quoted by someone working for a massive national company.

10 years at least, it was not enough then for the work and responsability we had. Until the public profile of the industry increases, wages like this are going to remain all too common. The level of skill and professionalism required has increased, so why not the pay scales?

Also,without wishing to criticize any one,they carry on paying that sort of money because they can ,because people will work for that sort of money,if we all just said no and went else were, they would have to up the rate,easer said than done i know.

 

The pay for train driver in London when up to 34k because that was the only way they could recruit enough.Thats what upset the fire men who were on 25k but for ever vacancy in the fire service there are at least 80 applicants,so why pay more?
