I think the Unions will sort it out. It's a load of more scaremongering. UK lead the way on 'workers rights ', and they were much better years ago. So far as I'm concerned , we had far better workers rights in the 70's,80's and early 90'sThen things changed and continued to go downhill.
Yes they would be better improved, when people are now expected to work 12 hour shift on 7 days a week. Other's up to 7hr shifts without a lunch hour, and different shift patterns over 5 weeks rotas, thus not enabling people to take a second job if they needed too, which many do. Six month temporary contracts, then out on their ears... Do they have the same working conditions in Holland ? They don't in London where they have champagne bars in Railway stations, and wining and dining every night, and a quick snort of this or that, whilst others don't finish until 11pm, then go home to make a meal and back in work at 9pm the next morning, when they've had to get their children organised and into school.
No I' not and never will be Labour supporter , but I can see things from both sides of the fence having lived and worked amongst a cross section of society, from the top to the bottom.
I don't remember saying I was against Boris's deal. If I had my way it would be 'no deal ' let all the nasty shits have a heat attack.
