shaun mc Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 A mate of mine works for a haulage company - I won't name it, but some might be able to guess They ferry bark to garden centres and places like B&Q (who are closed?) Doesn't seem like an essential service to me - yet its business as usual. If you don't go in there's no pay. No sick pay either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Tonks Sidestep Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I'd be inclined to include Leigh Centurions who aren't giving permission to their overseas players to return home to be nearer family. One has resigned and gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if running it as a business, and being appropriately registered as self employed. For those who do it it to supplement their income, such as through letting a room in their house, no. In my own circumstances, that's a pain, but bareable. For some people who struggle to make ends meet, it could be catastrophic. 1 Please view my photos. http://www.hughesphoto.co.uk/ Little Nook Farm - Caravan Club Certificated Location in the heart of the Pennines overlooking Hebden Bridge and the Calder Valley. http://www.facebook.com/LittleNookFarm Little Nook Cottage - 2-bed self-catering cottage in the heart of the Pennines overlooking Hebden Bridge and the Calder Valley.

shaun mc Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 For those that have questions about holidays and refunds etc. I believe Easyjet are making it more difficult to get int touch with them over and above any operational issues they may be having with staff numbers etc. Probably holding on till voucher refunds are ratified Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Tonks Sidestep Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Going to add Royal Mail (or at least my local sorting office).

I’d hope to see other teams and other sports teams follow this example. edit to add that the Barcelona players on top of that are also topping up none playing club staffs money.

But... rather than the simple usual "we'll refund" email, they said they'll be in touch to work out any options. No... I want a refund. An amendment to this. We again waited rather than take the "offer" of a voucher on their website, email received that says they're processing the full refund. 1 "When in deadly danger, when beset by doubt; run in little circles, wave your arms and shout" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ackroman Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 The banks are now on the government radar after more anecdotal evidence of poor behaviour. I'm also concerned some have pulled their mortgage products for first time buyers, and it's looking likely you'll need a 40% deposit to be able to buy a house. A cursory glance at the BBC news website will fill in any gaps you may wish to fill. We're all in it together apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’ll be some senior people gleefully sitting in the banks thinking of all the profit they’ll make from being able to “furlough” all the expensive branch staff at public expense, and without the local public uproar that comes from closing branches, while also stiffing every company who needs a loan with both extortionate rates and directors’ guarantees.

Damien Posted June 3, 2020 Author Share Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) Hearing a lot of bad things about BA and how they are using this crisis as an opportunity to restructure and make staff accept pay cuts and new terms and conditions and make people redundant. All the while whilst furloughing staff. It smacks of opportunism. https://www.itv.com/news/2020-06-01/british-airways-threatens-to-dismiss-19000-staff-unless-they-accept-worst-pay-conditions/ Edited June 3, 2020 by Damien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverback Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 NATIONAL HOLIDAYS. bunch of crooks and have mugged a lot of old folks,now gone bustin march, but made sure they looked ok until they gathered all the outstanding $$££££ for holidays booked,even advertised same holidays days before pulling the plug, they left thousands with any chance of getting a dime back as some paid cash. there even now sending leaflets in the post, and emails with same logo.same hotels and venues and on same coachs. wrong ens to simply wipe off depts and start again leaving people high n dry. Anyways it took 6 months and a lot a phone calls but i got my ££££ back off mastercard today for the 4 of us on a 4 day trip to scotland for millitary tattoo i paid way back in november, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
