I thought only the french strike these days.When i dont like the rates being payed, or the shifts i find something else. No-one forces people to stay and take it.
When the french strike at Calais its the total opposite on here. None of this +1+2+3+4 lark.
It’s ok saying find something else and it’s what I’ve done when I’ve not been happy with the situation I’ve been in.
Now that isn’t such a problem for me, I’m pretty mobile, so I can go and work in a another part of the Country or Europe almost at the drop of a hat, but for a worker with family ties to a place moving might not be an option and alternative jobs in the area might be thin on the ground.
And at what point do you run out of decent companies to work for, if you have to move every time the terms and conditions change for the worse.
