Indeed I can comment on that one. My father worked on the bins in the 1980s and he was always getting bitten,cut, now his back is screwed. And now retired he gets penalised for having a private pension, he is above the council tax benefit limit. Mad balancing! And me I worked as lab technician on bloods and i got less money than he did. But I am glad to see the binmen get the plastic bins. Better that, than your father comes home cut,bruised, and diseased and from touching got knows what with the old plastic bag system.Originally Posted by Win2Win
With regard to the jobs, the majority of them are low paid and the lazy Brits won't do them. Take the horse racing industry, 100's of staff short for racing stables, a Brit could walk straight into the job tomorrow, but they don't want them, they might get their nails dirty....and all for what....the minimum wage....long hours.....work weekends.....IT'S A
JOB
So they have to bring in East Europeans now to do it otherwise the industry would seize up.
You only have to look at the binmen in this country, they get paid the same as a biologist, pharmacist...and many other science based jobs....and yet they do much less work than they did in the 80's
