Re: 90 days without rights?!? Rally on Thursday!
Wed, July 19, 2006 - 3:56 PMThis pisses me off....
It's actually what I do now... but for 12 months.
If I want to hire someone I use a temp agency and hire them that way... I only need give them an hours notice to dismiss them and I need not justify this in anyway.
Then, if after 12 months I want to take them on our books I do. (and their pay goes up a shitload compared to when the agency is taking their cut)
Under this bill I would be a lot more inclined to take people on our books straight away and give them as much of a shot as I would if I was using the agency. (only they would be payed about $3 an hour more)
People don't really get that current practice simply means that someone else is taking a cut in the wages of labourers... this law will stop that.
Why not take a look at what is actually happening before you rebel against it...?
