Any truth in the rumour that casuals at Bristol walked out?

Post by Verging »

Heard last night that casuals walked out in Bristol due to the disparity in Terms & Conditions between Angard casuals and the more favourable T&Cs Manpower and REED casuals have.

Anyone know the story?

Heard the REED and Manpower casuals walked out not just the Angard ones.

What did they walk out over? What's the difference in T&Cs?

I'm working in Portbury and I don't see that Manpower get any better deals. I've seen some of them get offered a days work, and not know if they're working the day after or not. Angard give me a set schedule - telling me what days and times they'll want me for the week. Some of the ways Angard is run, are a shambles, but I'm not sure how Manpower get it any better?
