Aparently "details about that job are no longer available"! I wonder if it was because they were worried about the backlash from the Union? :chuckle

I should have copied it, but the gist of it was £5.73 per hour, no fixed hours, work on an as and when basis and it was a tempoary position.

If it is, then they've been breaking the law for years. They always smuggle a few through the lines, when we're out. Usually in the back of vans, with no seats or seatbelts (isn't that illegal too?). Because they can't get any of us to cross the lines.
