There's another 'group' that doesn't seem to have been mentioned yet and they REALLY grip my tits!

 

The JSA recipients that are working for cash AND still claiming - they're probably taking home more than the honest grafter who does his work & pays his tax.

 

This is e fault of the system IMO. Wages are poor, in relation to benefits. Why would a family man risk the hassle of losing money to work maybe part time, then have no work tomorrow to feed his kids? I know a chap who applies for every job he can, he works on a p/t basis as that's all he can find. He is now 60, full employment is unavailable to him. Last week he got 3hrs employment at a large DIY chain, the week before he did 44hrs. Basic rate. How on earth is he supposed to run a house and budget to live with such unrealistic terms of employment. Xmas coming up, I wouldn't want to be in his shoes. Yes there Is work out there, but employers don't want to employ full time staff if they can avoid it, and many are only too happy to take on casual JSA claimers as they are cheap disposable labour.

Zero hours contract?

Today is my last day working for a well respected outdoor/ski retailer, I was employed as a manager. On my first day when I signed my contracted I found that the pay did not include holiday pay. Would have been nice to have been told that when you offered the job I said, oh that's normal, tesco's do it was the reply. Signed the contract coz I had no choice, I have left at the first opertunity .

It was a labour government who allowed zero hours contracts, the party of the working man?

W$#nkers.
