rafik:
do you want to say that your government is responsible for the slave labour?lot's of brits work for this money. i have worked for this money for 2 months last year because there was nothing else on offer.after 2 months i found much better job but my workmates stayed there.they have chosen to work instead of sitting on their bums at home.let other people decide whether they want this job or not.some of the guys out there may have no income at all.
Of course the government arent responsible for slave labour and where exactly did i say anything like that??? It was the government this implemented the minimum wage to help those on low paid salaries and force employers to pay workers what they believed to be a decent living. The truth is the government forced employers to pay more money to lessen the financial burden on the government for low paid families.
And you have completely ignored the point of my original response which was the fact that this individual was trying to recruit people to work for a pittance because regardless of whether you are employed or unemployed 5.65 an hour is a pittance.
5.65 for a 37.5 hour week works out to 211 GBP (European working directive)
The current cost of living here in the UK means that the individual would earn barely enough to get by. Either that or they will have to work 60 hours or more a week.
The have to pay 50 for accomodation a week, no mention of food, transport, fuel bills etc etc. This leaves them 161 GBP a week, but has already been pointed out above they will be expected to work over 50 hours a week.
The only winners in this situation are the employer who gets cheap labour and the recruiter who makes the commision.
