There are plenty of benefits that self employed people get. Every single time I've had some work done,its been paid by cash,so I doubt very much if it's been declared. Anyway its not really about that. Its workers rights in general which they said wouldnt be affected. | |||

If you pay cash knowing that it's not going to be declared then you are just as guilty by paying it. Were you given the option? Very often someone paying cash wouldn't be charged Vat if applicable, which as you rightly point out isn't the right thing to do. My point being it's not just the person you are paying the cash to who is in the wrong. Besides which, cash is being used less and less as are cheques, mostly being paid straight into the bank. Try getting that past HMRC. As for workers rights, there are many good ones, but just as many that aren't so. Like everything else is about getting the right balance. But you're not interested in that, more just a bash the government thread. | |||

Back in October I had to take six weeks off work due to a work related 'injury'. During this time I didn't get paid, unlike an employed person. Luckily I have an insurance to cover my mortgage.

So I know it from both sides, although working rights are a lot more in the favour of the worker than back then. As for the BBC, I gave up listening to their bias a few years ago, but as I said previously I listen to many sources, read many articles and have experience, enough to make up my own mind.

Anyway its not really about that. Its workers rights in general which they said wouldnt be affected. If you pay cash knowing that it's not going to be declared then you are just as guilty by paying it. Were you given the option? Very often someone paying cash wouldn't be charged Vat if applicable, which as you rightly point out isn't the right thing to do. My point being it's not just the person you are paying the cash to who is in the wrong. Besides which, cash is being used less and less as are cheques, mostly being paid straight into the bank. Try getting that past HMRC. As for workers rights, there are many good ones, but just as many that aren't so. Like everything else is about getting the right balance. But you're not interested in that, more just a bash the government thread." **************************** Spot-on, in my opinion. Eva | |||

"Anyway, back to the subject - As someone who's been on the sharp end of the stick a couple of times, I'm all for employees rights, BUT There is a very real limit. If you look at France, it can be virtually impossible to dismiss anyone, AND the employer often pays the same in employment taxes as the worker receives. Don't think they have zero hours contracts not sure. You end up with companies simply not employing as many people as they might like and holding onto deadweight. Productivity goes down (our productivity is terrible as well) and unemployment, particularly youth unemployment, goes up. There has to be some commercial balance. " We have some of the most restrictive anti union legislation in europe. Most places now dont even have unions. Zero hr contracts etc and they want to reduce workers rights further? Thats not balance. | |||

The thread is about workers rights..its self destructive pitting 1 against the other. This is what you actually said ‘There are plenty of benefits that self employed people get. Every single time I've had some work done,its been paid by cash,so I doubt very much if it's been declared’ So you were saying that self employed get plenty of benefits, not less and you are clearly implying that they all work for cash in hand I'm not getting into a debate about the differences between self employed people and people who work for someone. The link is clearly nothing to do with that and you are most certainly not in any way trying to divert attention away from the subject. You mean it’s clear that you’re talking bollox and have no wriggle room! I'll say it once more just to be crystal clear. As i have no desire to be sucked into another soul destroying pointless argument. The thread is about workers rights. Have a read of the link I posted. It's nothing to do with self employed people(as I never brought that up) As this is the 2nd attempt by you to derail the thread ,I'll leave it there.
So what workers rights have gone?
Have you read the link?
Yes and it does not list any workers rights that have gone it's all speculation.
So I ask you again what workers rights have gone because clearly you know or otherwise you are making up a story about nothing?
"So what you are staying is..that because it hasn't actually happens..it wont happen? The story has appeared in several media outlets..please explain to me how 'I'm making it up? | |||

"https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2021/01/15/boris-johnson-considers-post-brexit-overhaul-workers-rights/amp/ In the telegraph now aswell. So that's the bbc,the guardian,the ft,the telegraph.the indy,the national and various online sources. But apparently all such outlets have an agenda there it's fair to take the story with a pinch of salt." Now you're getting it! They will all have a different perspective on it, if you read each individual report or do you only read the headlines? Ok, with the BBC... The BBC are bias, but you wouldn't get that. Any clearer now? | |||

This report contains suggestions which affects issues like the working week,breaks etc. Each outlet has reported this story in the same fashion. You mentioned gmnt basking before yet the telegraph and ft dont strike me as being particularly anti tory. | |||

"Anyway, back to the subject - As someone who's been on the sharp end of the stick a couple of times, I'm all for employees rights, BUT There is a very real limit. If you look at France, it can be virtually impossible to dismiss anyone, AND the employer often pays the same in employment taxes as the worker receives. Don't think they have zero hours contracts not sure. You end up with companies simply not employing as many people as they might like and holding onto deadweight. Productivity goes down (our productivity is terrible as well) and unemployment, particularly youth unemployment, goes up. There has to be some commercial balance. We have some of the most restrictive anti union legislation in europe. Most places now dont even have unions. Zero hr contracts etc and they want to reduce workers rights further? Thats not balance." Although unions could have helped me, at the same time I want employers who are not too terrified to employ people. A balance, as I say. (Ridiculous individuals like Bob Crow didn't exactly help the union cause but that's another issue) | |||

"Headline reads ‘ Minister denies plans to scrap some workers rights’ So speculation which has been denied." It's a bit old news. As an agency worker I was guaranteed a minimum number of hours under E.U. law. That law was rescinded by this government from April last year. Under this government I as an agency worker I am not guaranteed an hours. So they can deny all they like, their record so far doesn't instil much faith on my part. | |||

If you want to see how a workforce is treated without unions ,simply look at America. " America is the perfect example where Walmart is subsidised with 1.5 billion a year of taxpayer money paid to top up with food stamps the wages of their employees who can’t afford to live on the wages paid. Pork barrel politics, lobbying, is the reason it happens. America has a very mobile labour force and if subsidies were removed Walmart would have to pay higher market rates to suit the local area. | |||

"Unions have been hammered the last 40 years and as a result workers are worse off. Like I said yesterday compare how workers are treated in non unionized workplaces and union ised. If you want to see how a workforce is treated without unions ,simply look at America. I work for a company that does not have or ever had a union. Never been happier at work. What am I missing out on I'll put it another way. Who do you think has better terms and conditions? A heavily unionized place like say..a car factory? Or a non unionized setting like Amazon or sports direct? I'm not in either of those sectors you point out and no union exists at my workplace. This is why I asked what am I missing out on" I didnt say you were .I asked you a simple question. | |||

You seem to be implying because 1 person has never needed a union in the past, there seems to be no need for them. A slightly narrow view.

"Headline reads ‘ Minister denies plans to scrap some workers rights’ So speculation which has been denied. It's a bit old news. As an agency worker I was guaranteed a minimum number of hours under E.U. law. That law was rescinded by this government from April last year. Under this government I as an agency worker I am not guaranteed an hours. So they can deny all they like, their record so far doesn't instil much faith on my part." Going off my real life experience of the latest changes implemented by this government for agency workers I fear the worst. The full time production line workers were guaranteed 20 hours pay under E.U. Law. They are now guaranteed nothing. How anyone is supposed to make an financial plans on that basis I don’t know. Going off the chaos with the haulage industry, when they said we needed to leave the EU to reduce bureaucracy they meant reduce workers rights. | |||

Are you referring to the Pay Between Assignments or the Swedish Derogation as it is commonly known? If so, what has changed from April 20 is that agency workers will have the right to the same remuneration as full time employees after 12 weeks qualifying period, prior to that date they gave up that right if they received pay between assignments. | |||

"Unions have been hammered the last 40 years and as a result workers are worse off. Like I said yesterday compare how workers are treated in non unionized workplaces and union ised. If you want to see how a workforce is treated without unions ,simply look at America. I work for a company that does not have or ever had a union. Never been happier at work. What am I missing out on I'll put it another way. Who do you think has better terms and conditions? A heavily unionized place like say..a car factory? Or a non unionized setting like Amazon or sports direct? I'm not in either of those sectors you point out and no union exists at my workplace.

"Headline reads ‘ Minister denies plans to scrap some workers rights’ So speculation which has been denied. It's a bit old news. As an agency worker I was guaranteed a minimum number of hours under E.U. law. That law was rescinded by this government from April last year. Under this government I as an agency worker I am not guaranteed an hours. So they can deny all they like, their record so far doesn't instil much faith on my part. Going off my real life experience of the latest changes implemented by this government for agency workers I fear the worst. The full time production line workers were guaranteed 20 hours pay under E.U. Law. They are now guaranteed nothing. How anyone is supposed to make an financial plans on that basis I don’t know. Going off the chaos with the haulage industry, when they said we needed to leave the EU to reduce bureaucracy they meant reduce workers rights. Are you referring to the Pay Between Assignments or the Swedish Derogation as it is commonly known? If so, what has changed from April 20 is that agency workers will have the right to the same remuneration as full time employees after 12 weeks qualifying period, prior to that date they gave up that right if they received pay between assignments." Really because we had both. | |||

You seem to be implying because 1 person has never needed a union in the past, there seems to be no need for them. A slightly narrow view. Unions are there to protect workers rights in a variety of ways. It's a large company with many sites but neither auto or Amazon type. I don't know why you say I am implying anything. I asked what am I missing out on. If I had a narrow view I would not bother even considering it. Well I dont know where you work so I cant comment. Where do you think things like holiday pay,sick pay,maternity leave health and safety conditions..come from? Do you think the employer just gives them out of the goodness of their heart? Forgive my lack of employment law but assumed most if not all of them are law or at least have a minimum level in law but not sure. Are you saying that a union can force a company to give benefits over and above the law?. The place I work abides by the law and with things like holidays goes beyond it . If however a company is forced by a union to go even further then I may well look at one Not every work place has the same conditions. It goes back to my above about the difference between union and non unionized workplaces. Just out of interest, how much is the head of your union paid? Why is that in any way relevant? Should they do the job for free? No. How much does he earn? I dont know Why is it relevant? About 140-150,000? Who do you think he votes for? And why is he not paid, say, the average of the workers he is supposed to represent? Still waiting on the relevance aspect The relevance is do the people who run the unions look after the workers or themselves? That is absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the salary or who they vote for. Try again. you just don't like to say how much they 'earn' do you? Because you would have to admit that the people who run those organisations are the very same type of people you claim to dislike so much
And you cant answer a simple question
Using your logic if someone earns a half decent amount they dont care for the people under them?
Therefore drs couldnt give a fuck about their patients
Even for you,its a ridiculous argument.
You realise peoples members pay for their salary?
That they have to put themselves up for election and no one is forced to join the union?
They do so willingly
what qualifications do you need to be Head of a union? And how can they justify taking so many of their members contributions to pay for their ridiculous wages? What is it they do exactly? And put up for election? That's a joke, they are some of the most closed corrupt organisations going "Can you provide some evidence for your last statement please? You realise to go on strike you need to have a turnout of a certain amount? This does not apply to general elections? And unions are corrupt? | |||

"Unions have been hammered the last 40 years and as a result workers are worse off. Like I said yesterday compare how workers are treated in non unionized workplaces and union ised. If you want to see how a workforce is treated without unions ,simply look at America. I work for a company that does not have or ever had a union. Never been happier at work. What am I missing out on I'll put it another way. Who do you think has better terms and conditions? A heavily unionized place like say..a car factory?

Do you live in the real world?Yes it seems you dont ,would you like me to direct you to the relevant gov web pages?
I've worked in places where you dont get sick pay.
Even if you do..its statuary sick pay which is much less than your normal wages.right so statutory sick pay is not sick pay now did you get paternity too or was it because these places you worked in was before 2003?"I've worked in places which dont pay sick pay I know off places which break all sorts of rules in terms of employment law. If you dont think such things happen you are deluded | |||

"Unions have been hammered the last 40 years and as a result workers are worse off. Like I said yesterday compare how workers are treated in non unionized workplaces and union ised. If you want to see how a workforce is treated without unions ,simply look at America. I work for a company that does not have or ever had a union. Never been happier at work. What am I missing out on I'll put it another way. Who do you think has better terms and conditions? A heavily unionized place like say..a car factory? Or a non unionized setting like Amazon or sports direct? I'm not in either of those sectors you point out and no union exists at my workplace. This is why I asked what am I missing out on I didnt say you were .I asked you a simple question. If you look back to my first post(which you responded to) it was me that asked the question. It appears I am missing out so in any future job move I may consider a place where i can join a union if worth it I dont know where you work. You seem to be implying because 1 person has never needed a union in the past, there seems to be no need for them. A slightly narrow view. Unions are there to protect workers rights in a variety of ways. It's a large company with many sites but neither auto or Amazon type. I don't know why you say I am implying anything. I asked what am I missing out on. If I had a narrow view I would not bother even considering it. Well I dont know where you work so I cant comment. Where do you think things like holiday pay,sick pay,maternity leave health and safety conditions..come from? Do you think the employer just gives them out of the goodness of their heart? Forgive my lack of employment law but assumed most if not all of them are law or at least have a minimum level in law but not sure. Are you saying that a union can force a company to give benefits over and above the law?. The place I work abides by the law and with things like holidays goes beyond it . If however a company is forced by a union to go even further then I may well look at one Not every work place has the same conditions. It goes back to my above about the difference between union and non unionized workplaces. Quite true that different companies have different conditions but surely they all need to comply with the law. You were saying the benefits like maternity pay, holidays, health and safety ect were due to being in a union. I am not so sure as believe its law. So if I joined a company with a union would they be able to force the company to give benefits in excess of the law Ive worked in non unionized places where you dont get sick pay,paternity leave,non paid breaks etc What do you think would happen if you kicked up a stink in somewhere like Amazon? You would be out the door like a shot. At the time you worked for that company was these things a legal requirement. Can a union force a company to give benefits that are not required by law Amnesty international did a report into Amazon Have a read of it Is that who you was working for then. If not it does not answer my question. We're these things a legal requirement when you worked there. Can a union force a company to give benefits that are not required by law" I asked a simple question about 2 hours ago and I'm still waiting for an answer. Would a heavily unionized place like a car factory Have the same conditions as somewhere like Amazon? A simple yes or no will suffice Lets see how many answers I get with whataboutery. | |||

So again at the time you worked there were these benefits a legal requirement. Can a union force a company to give benefits that are in excess of the law. 2 evasions" How is it an evasion when you have still not answer the earlier questions?

"Unions have been hammered the last 40 years and as a result workers are worse off. Like I said yesterday compare how workers are treated in non unionized workplaces and union ised. If you want to see how a workforce is treated without unions ,simply look at America. I work for a company that does not have or ever had a union. Never been happier at work. What am I missing out on I'll put it another way. Who do you think has better terms and conditions? A heavily unionized place like say..a car factory? Or a non unionized setting like Amazon or sports direct? I'm not in either of those sectors you point out and no union exists at my workplace. This is why I asked what am I missing out on I didnt say you were .I asked you a simple question. If you look back to my first post(which you responded to) it was me that asked the question. It appears I am missing out so in any future job move I may consider a place where i can join a union if worth it I dont know where you work. You seem to be implying because 1 person has never needed a union in the past, there seems to be no need for them. A slightly narrow view. Unions are there to protect workers rights in a variety of ways. It's a large company with many sites but neither auto or Amazon type. I don't know why you say I am implying anything. I asked what am I missing out on. If I had a narrow view I would not bother even considering it. Well I dont know where you work so I cant comment. Where do you think things like holiday pay,sick pay,maternity leave health and safety conditions..come from? Do you think the employer just gives them out of the goodness of their heart? Forgive my lack of employment law but assumed most if not all of them are law or at least have a minimum level in law but not sure. Are you saying that a union can force a company to give benefits over and above the law?. The place I work abides by the law and with things like holidays goes beyond it . If however a company is forced by a union to go even further then I may well look at one Not every work place has the same conditions. It goes back to my above about the difference between union and non unionized workplaces. Quite true that different companies have different conditions but surely they all need to comply with the law. You were saying the benefits like maternity pay, holidays, health and safety ect were due to being in a union. I am not so sure as believe its law. So if I joined a company with a union would they be able to force the company to give benefits in excess of the law Ive worked in non unionized places where you dont get sick pay,paternity leave,non paid breaks etc What do you think would happen if you kicked up a stink in somewhere like Amazon? You would be out the door like a shot. At the time you worked for that company was these things a legal requirement. Can a union force a company to give benefits that are not required by law Amnesty international did a report into Amazon Have a read of it Is that who you was working for then. If not it does not answer my question. We're these things a legal requirement when you worked there. Can a union force a company to give benefits that are not required by law I asked a simple question about 2 hours ago and I'm still waiting for an answer.

Do you live in the real world?Yes it seems you dont ,would you like me to direct you to the relevant gov web pages?
I've worked in places where you dont get sick pay.
Even if you do..its statuary sick pay which is much less than your normal wages.right so statutory sick pay is not sick pay now did you get paternity too or was it because these places you worked in was before 2003?
I've worked in places which dont pay sick pay
I know off places which break all sorts of rules in terms of employment law.
If you dont think such things happen you are deludedYou really should have made a better cv working for low life companies like you have,but personally i would have taken them to an employment tribunal got my dues and stopped others having the same problem too.What did you do?

Where I work now, along with about 300 others, none of us are in a union, we get 30+ days holiday and the company pays into an insurance scheme for sick pay which means we get 100% for so many weeks, then 90%,80% etc. Unions have had their uses but are, like the Labour Party, a thing of the past. And people like Len Mckluskey, taking the pay of workers for ridiculous salaries and mortgages on London flats should be called out for the hypocrites that they are | |||

"Anyway, back to the subject - As someone who's been on the sharp end of the stick a couple of times, I'm all for employees rights, BUT There is a very real limit. If you look at France, it can be virtually impossible to dismiss anyone, AND the employer often pays the same in employment taxes as the worker receives. Don't think they have zero hours contracts not sure. You end up with companies simply not employing as many people as they might like and holding onto deadweight. Productivity goes down (our productivity is terrible as well) and unemployment, particularly youth unemployment, goes up. There has to be some commercial balance. We have some of the most restrictive anti union legislation in europe. Most places now dont even have unions. Zero hr contracts etc and they want to reduce workers rights further? Thats not balance. Although unions could have helped me, at the same time I want employers who are not too terrified to employ people. A balance, as I say. (Ridiculous individuals like Bob Crow didn't exactly help the union cause but that's another issue) " Ah Bob Crow.
Certain part of my business have a union they recently had to have a clear out as money was being appropriated for things shall we say that were not union related.
You see the words “greedy unions” propagated time after time and there is often some truth to it sadly.

Where I work now, along with about 300 others, none of us are in a union, we get 30+ days holiday and the company pays into an insurance scheme for sick pay which means we get 100% for so many weeks, then 90%,80% etc. Unions have had their uses but are, like the Labour Party, a thing of the past. And people like Len Mckluskey, taking the pay of workers for ridiculous salaries and mortgages on London flats should be called out for the hypocrites that they are " Just because you write a paragraph doesnt mean have answered the question. Fucking hell it's not rocket science Who has the best terms and conditions? A car factory for example, which is often, not all,unionized. Or a non unionized place like say amazon Last chance. | |||

"Unions have been hammered the last 40 years and as a result workers are worse off. Like I said yesterday compare how workers are treated in non unionized workplaces and union ised. If you want to see how a workforce is treated without unions ,simply look at America. I work for a company that does not have or ever had a union. Never been happier at work.

It appears I am missing out so in any future job move I may consider a place where i can join a union if worth it I dont know where you work. You seem to be implying because 1 person has never needed a union in the past, there seems to be no need for them. A slightly narrow view.

I asked what am I missing out on. If I had a narrow view I would not bother even considering it. Well I dont know where you work so I cant comment. Where do you think things like holiday pay,sick pay,maternity leave health and safety conditions..come from? Do you think the employer just gives them out of the goodness of their heart? Forgive my lack of employment law but assumed most if not all of them are law or at least have a minimum level in law but not sure. Are you saying that a union can force a company to give benefits over and above the law?. The place I work abides by the law and with things like holidays goes beyond it . If however a company is forced by a union to go even further then I may well look at one Not every work place has the same conditions. It goes back to my above about the difference between union and non unionized workplaces. Quite true that different companies have different conditions but surely they all need to comply with the law. You were saying the benefits like maternity pay, holidays, health and safety ect were due to being in a union. I am not so sure as believe its law. So if I joined a company with a union would they be able to force the company to give benefits in excess of the law Ive worked in non unionized places where you dont get sick pay,paternity leave,non paid breaks etc What do you think would happen if you kicked up a stink in somewhere like Amazon? You would be out the door like a shot. At the time you worked for that company was these things a legal requirement. Can a union force a company to give benefits that are not required by law Amnesty international did a report into Amazon Have a read of it Is that who you was working for then.

Do you live in the real world?Yes it seems you dont ,would you like me to direct you to the relevant gov web pages?
I've worked in places where you dont get sick pay.
Even if you do..its statuary sick pay which is much less than your normal wages.right so statutory sick pay is not sick pay now did you get paternity too or was it because these places you worked in was before 2003?
I've worked in places which dont pay sick pay
I know off places which break all sorts of rules in terms of employment law.
If you dont think such things happen you are deludedYou really should have made a better cv working for low life companies like you have,but personally i would have taken them to an employment tribunal got my dues and stopped others having the same problem too.What did you do?
Answer my question above i have what did you do?
Searches back.. no you haven't in the slightest.

"Anyway, back to the subject - As someone who's been on the sharp end of the stick a couple of times, I'm all for employees rights, BUT There is a very real limit. If you look at France, it can be virtually impossible to dismiss anyone, AND the employer often pays the same in employment taxes as the worker receives. Don't think they have zero hours contracts not sure. You end up with companies simply not employing as many people as they might like and holding onto deadweight. Productivity goes down (our productivity is terrible as well) and unemployment, particularly youth unemployment, goes up. There has to be some commercial balance. We have some of the most restrictive anti union legislation in europe. Most places now dont even have unions. Zero hr contracts etc and they want to reduce workers rights further? Thats not balance. Although unions could have helped me, at the same time I want employers who are not too terrified to employ people. A balance, as I say. (Ridiculous individuals like Bob Crow didn't exactly help the union cause but that's another issue) Ah Bob Crow.
Certain part of my business have a union they recently had to have a clear out as money was being appropriated for things shall we say that were not union related.
You see the words “greedy unions” propagated time after time and there is often some truth to it sadly.

"Unions have been hammered the last 40 years and as a result workers are worse off. Like I said yesterday compare how workers are treated in non unionized workplaces and union ised. If you want to see how a workforce is treated without unions ,simply look at America. I work for a company that does not have or ever had a union. Never been happier at work. What am I missing out on I'll put it another way. Who do you think has better terms and conditions? A heavily unionized place like say..a car factory? Or a non unionized setting like Amazon or sports direct? I'm not in either of those sectors you point out and no union exists at my workplace. This is why I asked what am I missing out on I didnt say you were .I asked you a simple question. If you look back to my first post(which you responded to) it was me that asked the question. It appears I am missing out so in any future job move I may consider a place where i can join a union if worth it I dont know where you work. You seem to be implying because 1 person has never needed a union in the past, there seems to be no need for them. A slightly narrow view. Unions are there to protect workers rights in a variety of ways. It's a large company with many sites but neither auto or Amazon type. I don't know why you say I am implying anything. I asked what am I missing out on. If I had a narrow view I would not bother even considering it. Well I dont know where you work so I cant comment. Where do you think things like holiday pay,sick pay,maternity leave health and safety conditions..come from? Do you think the employer just gives them out of the goodness of their heart? Forgive my lack of employment law but assumed most if not all of them are law or at least have a minimum level in law but not sure. Are you saying that a union can force a company to give benefits over and above the law?. The place I work abides by the law and with things like holidays goes beyond it . If however a company is forced by a union to go even further then I may well look at one Not every work place has the same conditions. It goes back to my above about the difference between union and non unionized workplaces. Quite true that different companies have different conditions but surely they all need to comply with the law. You were saying the benefits like maternity pay, holidays, health and safety ect were due to being in a union. I am not so sure as believe its law. So if I joined a company with a union would they be able to force the company to give benefits in excess of the law Ive worked in non unionized places where you dont get sick pay,paternity leave,non paid breaks etc What do you think would happen if you kicked up a stink in somewhere like Amazon? You would be out the door like a shot. At the time you worked for that company was these things a legal requirement. Can a union force a company to give benefits that are not required by law Amnesty international did a report into Amazon Have a read of it Is that who you was working for then. If not it does not answer my question. We're these things a legal requirement when you worked there. Can a union force a company to give benefits that are not required by law I asked a simple question about 2 hours ago and I'm still waiting for an answer. Would a heavily unionized place like a car factory Have the same conditions as somewhere like Amazon? A simple yes or no will suffice Lets see how many answers I get with whataboutery. Actually as I pointed out I asked a question first and still awaiting the answer. Instead of answering you ask other questions and moan you don't get answers. As I also said I do not work in either the auto industry or Amazon so don't know. I also said I don't know much about unions. So again at the time you worked there were these benefits a legal requirement. Can a union force a company to give benefits that are in excess of the law. 2 evasions How is it an evasion when you have still not answer the earlier questions? I thought you would have been the ideal person to answer about unions. You are just deflecting You asked what benefits would you get ..which I listed I asked you a question which you avoided and asked another. If you cant be bothered answering a simple yes or no question,dont expect me to answer yours I asked what am I missing out on and can a union force a company to give benefits in excess of legal requirements. Instead of an answer you asked another question (which I have answered) Yep we will leave it there as you have no intention of asking my thrice asked question." As I said I have answered your question but you refuse to answer mine. Was it a legal requirement for these benefits at this place you worked.

You would be out the door like a shot.you should report them its against the law to not pay sick pay and paternity leave, LAW nothing to do with unions.
Do you live in the real world?Yes it seems you dont ,would you like me to direct you to the relevant gov web pages?
I've worked in places where you dont get sick pay.
Even if you do..its statuary sick pay which is much less than your normal wages.right so statutory sick pay is not sick pay now did you get paternity too or was it because these places you worked in was before 2003?
I've worked in places which dont pay sick pay
I know off places which break all sorts of rules in terms of employment law.
If you dont think such things happen you are deludedYou really should have made a better cv working for low life companies like you have,but personally i would have taken them to an employment tribunal got my dues and stopped others having the same problem too.What did you do?
Answer my question above i have what did you do?
Searches back.. no you haven't in the slightest.
That's 3can you highlight the question i haven't answered please as dont have a clue what it was even after reading back i will then answer and expect you to do the same.
I've posted it 3 times now.mate i have not got a clue what you ask me is it so hard just to copy and paste it again so that we can move on or is this just your usual diversion tactic again because you dont want to answer?
Ive asked it 3 times.
Its not hard to find "just about sums your childish attitude up im asking for help as i dont for the life of me know what the question is and you just keep repeating the same childish crap.If this is your attitude at work i am not surprised that you could only get employment at the places you have described.Maybe taking a look at yourself and your attitude may halp you in the future. | |||

That wasn't me no wonder i cant find the question so now we can move on what did you do about your employer who wouldnt pay sick or paternity leave? | |||

"Anyway, back to the subject - As someone who's been on the sharp end of the stick a couple of times, I'm all for employees rights, BUT There is a very real limit. If you look at France, it can be virtually impossible to dismiss anyone, AND the employer often pays the same in employment taxes as the worker receives. Don't think they have zero hours contracts not sure. You end up with companies simply not employing as many people as they might like and holding onto deadweight. Productivity goes down (our productivity is terrible as well) and unemployment, particularly youth unemployment, goes up. There has to be some commercial balance. We have some of the most restrictive anti union legislation in europe. Most places now dont even have unions. Zero hr contracts etc and they want to reduce workers rights further? Thats not balance. Although unions could have helped me, at the same time I want employers who are not too terrified to employ people. A balance, as I say. (Ridiculous individuals like Bob Crow didn't exactly help the union cause but that's another issue) Ah Bob Crow.
Certain part of my business have a union they recently had to have a clear out as money was being appropriated for things shall we say that were not union related.
You see the words “greedy unions” propagated time after time and there is often some truth to it sadly.
What happened in the clear out?
I say clear out people stood down. Was done in a very murky fashion.
So there was shady goings on and people either 'left'or were told to stand down?
Oh nobody left took some brass balls that.
Just decided to stand down.
So they left their position in the union?
Yes. I’m not sure if they left the union though. I’m not involved in that arm.
I'm confused
You said they stood down?
Stood down from what?
They were on a committee I believe. Some sort of position in the union that allowed them to claim expenses. "So they lost that position they held in the union? | |||

"Unions have been hammered the last 40 years and as a result workers are worse off. Like I said yesterday compare how workers are treated in non unionized workplaces and union ised. If you want to see how a workforce is treated without unions ,simply look at America. I work for a company that does not have or ever had a union. Never been happier at work. What am I missing out on I'll put it another way. Who do you think has better terms and conditions? A heavily unionized place like say..a car factory? Or a non unionized setting like Amazon or sports direct? I'm not in either of those sectors you point out and no union exists at my workplace. This is why I asked what am I missing out on I didnt say you were .I asked you a simple question. If you look back to my first post(which you responded to) it was me that asked the question. It appears I am missing out so in any future job move I may consider a place where i can join a union if worth it I dont know where you work. You seem to be implying because 1 person has never needed a union in the past, there seems to be no need for them. A slightly narrow view. Unions are there to protect workers rights in a variety of ways. It's a large company with many sites but neither auto or Amazon type. I don't know why you say I am implying anything. I asked what am I missing out on. If I had a narrow view I would not bother even considering it. Well I dont know where you work so I cant comment. Where do you think things like holiday pay,sick pay,maternity leave health and safety conditions..come from? Do you think the employer just gives them out of the goodness of their heart? Forgive my lack of employment law but assumed most if not all of them are law or at least have a minimum level in law but not sure. Are you saying that a union can force a company to give benefits over and above the law?. The place I work abides by the law and with things like holidays goes beyond it . If however a company is forced by a union to go even further then I may well look at one Not every work place has the same conditions. It goes back to my above about the difference between union and non unionized workplaces. Quite true that different companies have different conditions but surely they all need to comply with the law. You were saying the benefits like maternity pay, holidays, health and safety ect were due to being in a union. I am not so sure as believe its law. So if I joined a company with a union would they be able to force the company to give benefits in excess of the law Ive worked in non unionized places where you dont get sick pay,paternity leave,non paid breaks etc What do you think would happen if you kicked up a stink in somewhere like Amazon? You would be out the door like a shot. At the time you worked for that company was these things a legal requirement. Can a union force a company to give benefits that are not required by law Amnesty international did a report into Amazon Have a read of it Is that who you was working for then. If not it does not answer my question. We're these things a legal requirement when you worked there. Can a union force a company to give benefits that are not required by law I asked a simple question about 2 hours ago and I'm still waiting for an answer. Would a heavily unionized place like a car factory Have the same conditions as somewhere like Amazon? A simple yes or no will suffice Lets see how many answers I get with whataboutery. Actually as I pointed out I asked a question first and still awaiting the answer. Instead of answering you ask other questions and moan you don't get answers. As I also said I do not work in either the auto industry or Amazon so don't know. I also said I don't know much about unions. So again at the time you worked there were these benefits a legal requirement. Can a union force a company to give benefits that are in excess of the law. 2 evasions How is it an evasion when you have still not answer the earlier questions? I thought you would have been the ideal person to answer about unions. You are just deflecting You asked what benefits would you get ..which I listed I asked you a question which you avoided and asked another. If you cant be bothered answering a simple yes or no question,dont expect me to answer yours I asked what am I missing out on and can a union force a company to give benefits in excess of legal requirements. Instead of an answer you asked another question (which I have answered) Yep we will leave it there as you have no intention of asking my thrice asked question. As I said I have answered your question but you refuse to answer mine. Was it a legal requirement for these benefits at this place you worked. Can a union force a company to give benefits in excess of legal requirements I'm typing this 1 last time. You said to me..what am i missing out on. I answered. I asked a question.3 times.

How many mps went to court?"Not sure I mentioned MPs mate. But if Unions and MPs can fiddle their members and constituents then it’s not ok. Luckily my moral compass is different from yours it seems as you seem to think it’s ok. | |||

If not it does not answer my question. We're these things a legal requirement when you worked there. Can a union force a company to give benefits that are not required by law I asked a simple question about 2 hours ago and I'm still waiting for an answer. Would a heavily unionized place like a car factory Have the same conditions as somewhere like Amazon? A simple yes or no will suffice Lets see how many answers I get with whataboutery. Actually as I pointed out I asked a question first and still awaiting the answer. Instead of answering you ask other questions and moan you don't get answers. As I also said I do not work in either the auto industry or Amazon so don't know. I also said I don't know much about unions. So again at the time you worked there were these benefits a legal requirement. Can a union force a company to give benefits that are in excess of the law. 2 evasions How is it an evasion when you have still not answer the earlier questions? I thought you would have been the ideal person to answer about unions. You are just deflecting You asked what benefits would you get ..which I listed I asked you a question which you avoided and asked another. If you cant be bothered answering a simple yes or no question,dont expect me to answer yours I asked what am I missing out on and can a union force a company to give benefits in excess of legal requirements. Instead of an answer you asked another question (which I have answered) Yep we will leave it there as you have no intention of asking my thrice asked question. As I said I have answered your question but you refuse to answer mine. Was it a legal requirement for these benefits at this place you worked. Can a union force a company to give benefits in excess of legal requirements I'm typing this 1 last time. You said to me..what am i missing out on. I answered. I asked a question.3 times. You have refused to answer it..I think we all now why. Pray tell why should I answer yours?That wasn't me no wonder i cant find the question so now we can move on what did you do about your employer who wouldnt pay sick or paternity leave?
4th time
What place of work what have the better terms and conditions for its workforce?
A car factory for example which was heavily unionized or somewhere like Amazon?Mate you have got your knickers right in a twist, that was not ME you were discussing with we were talking about sick pay and maternity pay nothing more that was a whole different conversation which i was not part of.
So you carnt answer the question "why would i get involved in questions about something i have had no input in ? do you care to get back to our conversation and take that one up with the person you were debating with or are you just going to agree that there are laws on sick pay and paternity leave and nothing to do with unions? | |||

"Unions have been hammered the last 40 years and as a result workers are worse off. Like I said yesterday compare how workers are treated in non unionized workplaces and union ised. If you want to see how a workforce is treated without unions ,simply look at America. I work for a company that does not have or ever had a union. Never been happier at work. What am I missing out on I'll put it another way. Who do you think has better terms and conditions? A heavily unionized place like say..a car factory? Or a non unionized setting like Amazon or sports direct? I'm not in either of those sectors you point out and no union exists at my workplace. This is why I asked what am I missing out on I didnt say you were .I asked you a simple question. If you look back to my first post(which you responded to) it was me that asked the question. It appears I am missing out so in any future job move I may consider a place where i can join a union if worth it I dont know where you work. You seem to be implying because 1 person has never needed a union in the past, there seems to be no need for them. A slightly narrow view. Unions are there to protect workers rights in a variety of ways. It's a large company with many sites but neither auto or Amazon type. I don't know why you say I am implying anything. I asked what am I missing out on. If I had a narrow view I would not bother even considering it. Well I dont know where you work so I cant comment. Where do you think things like holiday pay,sick pay,maternity leave health and safety conditions..come from? Do you think the employer just gives them out of the goodness of their heart? Forgive my lack of employment law but assumed most if not all of them are law or at least have a minimum level in law but not sure. Are you saying that a union can force a company to give benefits over and above the law?. The place I work abides by the law and with things like holidays goes beyond it . If however a company is forced by a union to go even further then I may well look at one Not every work place has the same conditions. It goes back to my above about the difference between union and non unionized workplaces. Quite true that different companies have different conditions but surely they all need to comply with the law. You were saying the benefits like maternity pay, holidays, health and safety ect were due to being in a union. I am not so sure as believe its law. So if I joined a company with a union would they be able to force the company to give benefits in excess of the law Ive worked in non unionized places where you dont get sick pay,paternity leave,non paid breaks etc What do you think would happen if you kicked up a stink in somewhere like Amazon?

The only answer you gave after many requests was about maternity pay, health and safety ect which are not benefits of being in a union they are legal requirements for all companies. You still after many many times of asking have answered my questions. You always seem to respond to a question with a question and demand yours are answered but won't answer any yourself | |||
