Tell me about it, I am using Tetleys instead of Twinings these days!
To say nothing of using Jeyes fluid instead of perfume |

But the Polish Drivers do not get the same pay
it all works out
and more important is the Customer is no longer let down
thanks to a better 24/7 Polish Bus Team.

| Nor would they pay the same rate of tax and the dole monies would still have to come from somewhere! |

No Pel
Outsource for 'Telephone' help
has gone very wrong.
Many firms may reverse
and return to the UK.
The Bus Workers
should not strike. |

| No, we dont outsource telephone help, we outsource secretarial. A sin when I personally know several people who need the money, and could do the job much better, but are not willing/are unable to do it for the price of a bowl of rice. |

Yes it was on a Ch4 Docu,
they work in great air con offices but some go home to a shack.
Mexico is like that,
The americans outsource as much as they can. |

It takes energy and resources to create the paper bags, whose weight means that a packet contains less tea than the packets of loose. What's more, the loose makes for a better brew as it can be stirred throughout the pot of water.

If they are working hard, it is a good thing to have a break and make of pot of good tea from loose leaves: it is fortifying. |

http://www.theargus.co.uk/news/generalnews/display.var.2227316.0.bus_drivers_warned_they_will_be_walked_over_if_they_dont_strike.php
Sharon Wentworth, the union's regional industrial
organiser for the south east, told the drivers' meeting:
"We are at the final hurdle now.
"The next few weeks and months are not going to be easy.
We are in a desperate struggle with the company
and it's not called a struggle for nothing.
"We are going to support you every step of the way."
She also revealed that negotiations with the company have stopped.
So the Strike is gettng ready
Bring it On.
Employ 24/7 new Polish staff.

Here's a suggestion for you LTNS. You have a car haven't you? ... offer a free cab service to the Old Folks of BrightonHove while the strike is on. Do your bit! |
