If you want a better paying job, then you need to learn a skill and qualify for one.

Re: Ballot result
No idea about chefs but I've got mates that are roofers, bricklayers, landscapers, etc and they're on roughly twice as much as me on a full time 37hr 'legacy' contract.LouBarlow wrote: ↑29 Aug 2025, 17:41It is an unskilled manual labour job, and you are being paid applicably.

Re: Ballot result
So by quoting myself with a jaunty smilie you literally have no answer? I know you are barely capable of cogent thinking but what would you suggest is adequate pay for the work we carry out, given the lack of qualifications or skills needed to perform it? What comparable job out there do you think we align with?SkiSunday wrote: ↑29 Aug 2025, 18:01"What else would you suggest?"LouBarlow wrote: ↑29 Aug 2025, 17:41What else would you suggest?

Re: Ballot result
I wonder what the ballot result would be like if it was broken down by function for each branch.
