Poll: The EU Referendum: How Will You Vote? (March Poll)

[deuse]

This i can believe. This £9 an hour crap is the worst horror story since Leprechaun 5: In The Hood.

I can't remember off hand how much I was on in the 90s(wasn't that much). But I did buy a new 3 bed detached house in the 90s

Subtle pro-refugee propaganda or innocent story?

On the front page and has “refugee” in the headline. Maybe to appeal to the older generation who are more likely to vote leave?

your post did suggest that you earnt £9 per hour and that you would get double (£18ph) if you worked a sunday...

Stackers would work during the night and evening weekends for double pay which wasjust over 9.
These days there is no double pay.

Up till the 70s we were paid a fair wage for our productivity, after the 70s our productivity increase but wages failed to keep up.
You labour power and value have hit all time low.

Now that is true. I got time and half if I started before 7pm.
I got time and half for over time in the week. Double on nights.

Saturday was time and half till 12pm then double time after that.
Double time on a Sunday till 12pm. Then quad time after.

That's nothing to do with the EU though, that's due to changing consumer habits and the fact that more stores are open 24 hours most days.

WHAT?
I never worked in a store but got more cash. The store workers was the low paid then. Unless you worked nights

This is from an in campaigner!

I am reminded of the aphorism about "with friends like these..." but it's the unfortunate problem with a referendum like this one: one finds oneself on the same side of the argument as people you generally don't agree with. I can't say I give any more credibility to Stuart Rose than I usually would just because we happen to agree on one thing, and in this case he's wrong on both counts.

It was an agreement by stores or any other company if they wanted late night workers they would need to pay for unsociable hours, eu directive changed that by suggesting the only over time could be paid time extra. On top of that the market started to open up too eu nationals then the 2001 & 2004 explosion of free labour killed double pay off.

Nothing to do with a labour pool so vast you don't have to pay more because you can almost guarantee someone will do the same for less?

my local Tesco is 24 hours, nights and evenings is 75%+ indonesian/asian workers, im guessing thats due to cheap labour

Genuine question: did supermarkets have issues with filling vacancies previously? Was the labour pool already large enough that they didn't need to pay unsocial hours premiums?

This is the same Swiss who already have free movement and no borders with the EU right?

Think you'll find they are implementing a quota system for EU migrants no later than next year.

Have a read and look at some of the posts.

So your source is the comment section of an article?

How come i received 1.5 x pay for Sundays and bank holidays, triple pay for major holidays and unsociable hours work premiums in Tesco?

I know for a fact that these rates are still there because i kept in touch with the mates I met there.

Why is there an expectation that this work should pay vast sums of money anyway?

 

[pinkpill]

It was just an article, please provide proof that those rates are still available for that job.
