Securitas are recruiting persons to be fire fighters to supplement brigades

Twelve days training , starting pay from £12 per hour . HGV drivers get extra .

It seems I wasted three months of my life training to be a firefighter

An emergency service normally manned by highly trained professionals, reduced to unskilled agency workers on the cheap.

What could possibly go wrong?

As one clown exits number 10, another takes his place.

Time we got rid of MP's and Lords - we can get some agency wollers in on the cheap and pack Truss, Johnson and co off to the dole queue.

. Fully fledged ones with the same pensions & perks? Or equivalent in status to say, PCSO's ?
Training in some professions was downgraded at the height of the pandemic, qualifying rules made less stringent eg for doctors & HGV drivers.

Fcuk me! I know it’s all about the bottom line but that’s mad!

Sack the Met, I fancy 12 days training to be a detective.

That’s silly, it’s like firing all pilots and getting jobseekers to fly planes

The CWU have got a big live event happening online at 17.00

Paramedics and Uni lecturers are balloting at the moment, we're out again tomorrow but the company have at last agreed to meet at ACAS. Starmer has pledged to overturn the anti-union legislation passed in the last few years as well as any passed in the meantime. This is important.

You say it''s important what do you expect the outcome to be?

As he should too. We're a democracy, not a totalitarian state.

He won't give you PR though or even entertain a rejoin to the EU or give the Scots the rightful ref on independance.Since he has gone back on every pledge to be elected leader of the labour party i wouldn't trust him on that pledge either unless Murdoch and the donors agree.

My postman was pretty despondent yesterday, seems to think the strikes aren't working. I said that's probably what the management are relying on.

You get a lot of handouts and posters in depots that are basically doom posting. There wasn't many at the picket but the car park was pretty empty because a lot of people just stay at home and we have a lot of people on A/L at the moment, tomorrow's going to be a tad chaotic Our CEO has been silent since the end of last week and with the move to ACAS talks that allow the strikes to continue there does appear to be a glimmer of hope. The next one is next Friday and after that Black Friday and Cyber Monday, the business gets a lot of grief but it's still by far the biggest parcel carrier in the UK.

A delivery I spent a lot of money on for guaranteed by 1pm today for an item we urgently needed for tonight is held up because of the strike.
I still support the strikers 100%

We don't want to do this, thank you for your support.
