Need to join ANY Trade Union for IT staff

[Jaybee from his castle]

What's the problem? Are they breaking the terms of your contract?

The problem is that they have no idea of best practice in hiring, retaining or firing staff. I don't want to be too specific in public about this case for an obvious reason, but it's only inferior organisations (who hire lower-end IT brains like me!) that suffer high turnover and foster job insecurity in their environments.

So no, they're not breaking the terms of the written contract, but it's a bit of a poor show all round that I've had to get a uniion rep, I thought that crap only happened in the public sector.

We're all 'temps' - nobody stays at in one workplace permanently, unless you're an Undertaker.

Why do you have to get a union rep?
- the contract has not been broken
- right now you're being paid for not working
- soon your contract may be terminated, in accordance with its conditions.

So what's the problem?
