You reckon it's going to get that bad mate?

It’s shit that but people on cushy wages etc or decent working rights have usually put the draft in to get there.
same graft as any job...

Aye I'm worried as well (car industry). Don't think my job is in any immediate danger but there could be some crap times coming up. Saying that it's been crap for about 5 years.
 
We’re giving our staff a 10% rise but since we told them we do that things have turned to shit and we’re probably going to go bust so instead of a 10% rise they’ll probably end up without a job. Shit, shit and more shit.
Sorry he hear that mate. Giving your staff a 10% rise makes you a good employer. Hope your fortunes turn round.
 
Will have -100% after xmas when all the sites mothball due to everyone panicking and spending nowt thanks to C.O.L and crazy interest rates.
These striking over a few % want to thank there lucky stars they are on cushy salaries

How about the domestic market, do you think?

Most tradies will be booked out for most of next year already, won’t they?

I'd imagine lots of plans will change as belts tighten like, until jobs have started they're easily cancelled/postponed
 
5% in January and then another 6% next July.

Depends where your salary currently sits in the band whether you get the full pay rise

Work for the NHS, got £900 annual rise in April, then they re-introduced car parking charges which are £25/month :rolleyes:

I left the NHS 5 year ago and our negotiators have just agreed a new pay model with the government here with 15% extra in the deal for primary care- its not UK based unsurprisingly
 
Stagecoach here - our fight for better pay is still ongoing. Things are getting messy now.

We had strikes in for last week which got cancelled due to a new ballot - rejected by 78%.

Strikes were then due for next week but have been suspended due to Stagecoach supposedly implementing a new law from a different strike down South. Apparently a new high court ruling means that companies can individually interview employees to whether they want to accept a pay offer or not.

Basically, unions mean fuck all anymore and the ballot is worthless.

There’s also rumours of Stagecoach preparing to Fire and Rehire.

Well I know for a fine fact they’ll be fucked if they do that. There’s already numerous drivers on the verge of putting their notice in after the shite of the past few months.

Fair point.

I’m hoping to get a load of decorating and minor jobs done next year - fingers crossed I might even get someone out for a quote if demand is dropping.
