Neil Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 i can give you a guaranteed result from thursdays local elections labour will lose the mayoralty of Bristol, not because someone else will win but because we voted to abolish the mayor cos no one liked him, strong suspicion of him being corrupt and too interested in vanity projects, an underground system when he can't run a decent bus system.

I don't know about Bristol, but there's a lot of focus on the mayoral elections tomorrow...how much they actually represent what is happening in westminster and what could happen in general election I don't know. But if either Street or Houchen win govt will be pleased, and if both win they will milk it as a sign that they are not dead and can still turn it around before a general election. Will be even worse for Labour if that Driscoll bloke wins wherever he's standing. But, also a not super great night for Labour could be good, stop the complacency setting in etc...but again will make them nervous, cause they are sh*t scared they're going to blow it again like 92/15.

lost Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 (edited) It'll be like the difference between minimum wage and living wage. One is legally binding the other comapnies can say we do this to look good. Interested to see what happens to working from home /flex. I believe you already have a right to ask for it but the place I've been doing some work for is knocking back all requests based on "my circumstances changed duirng covid, I had kids , became a carer etc.." I believe the company that has the catering contract for the canteen kicked off that nobody was coming in. Edited May 1 by lost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all fair pay, zero hour contracts, workers rights etc My company has a zero wfh policy, but plenty do, including me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
