But thats the point - you wouldnt know that you had a job shortly you would be told you had a job shortly which may or may not exist!
I have no problem with being told that there is the likelyhood of work coming up or that a job is at such and such a stage but there is a chance of further employment. I just believe that i have the right to make an informed decision as to what action i take and in order to do this i need the facts as they stand.
A temping agency would not solve this problem - and as wages are low enough as it is without having a fat cat creaming them off it offers no benefits! What ever happened to that acency anyway? Did anybody get a job through them - no one ive ever met so obviously not such a great idea afer all.
Its not that i dont understand that its difficult for the units - i do buti am also fully aware thats it is in thier best interests to keep a pool of workers hanging on as long as possible incase work comes up and its not fair to mislead these people.
If you think you may have work say "i think we MAY have work" not "we have work" thats all i ask!
