I'm sorry but my experience (even though indirect) is that the both the pay and the working conditions are not what would be expected in the UK. Firstly, is mandatory working on your day off permissible with the threat of dismissal if you don't turn up after a late night phone to get back for the so-called "graveyard shift"? Secondly, is earning the equivalent of £130 a month acceptable for working 60 hours a week? Oh and I forgot that the rate is before deductions!!! Sorry. But this is to my mind very close to slave labour. We in the UK fought hard for workers' rights. Whilst multinationals are not expected to act like charities, nevertheless a decent wage for a decent day's work should be the mantra of every single one of them. They should be made accountable for their commercial practices. Human rights should go hand in hand with profit margins.
