I am not saying that the union saved the plant but everyones back was against the wall.The playing field isn't a fair one. I dont agree with agency work and would rather see proper employment contracts offered but unfortunatly this is the way the government have made the way of employment for lots of jobs in many different industries and companies. Simon has to use his judgement on the potential prospects of this job compared to probably other agency jobs he may be offered or minimum wage jobs because unfortunatly these are the vast majority of jobs that come up for grabs. Good luck Simon. I really do hope it all works out for you mate.

Fireblade, I am a Vauxhall worker and I know a lot of agency workers who where treated as lesser beings some 16 years back who are still working there now on a full vauxhall contract.I also know some of those agency workers didn't warrant being taken on a permanent contract as well as a few who missed out who did deserve one.
I knew and know of some old hands who have been there for a lifetime who think they are owed a living who add to this two tier attitude. The job situation for those looking for work sucks and I hope this changes but I wont be a worker who shuns an agency worker who is grabbing an opportunity and I hope that those who take their chances end up winners with eventual permanent contracts,Good luck to all those who take their chances.
