We are in 2015 and for
some we could be back in the 19th Century with Zero hours
contracts 12 hour working days, how can you expect the best from your
employees when you expect them to work a 12 hour day, everybody needs
a life !
Recently one of my
acquaintances started work for Google . Ok they are a rich company
but there are a lot of Rich Companies out there today, he said about
Google (My journey into Cyberspace from Mensa World Journal ), the
company is filled with geniuses and run by geniuses. Every aspect of
the work life is directed at making work wonderful for the employees.
Free breakfast, luch and dinner. Massages. Work spaces have bean
bags, couches and nerf guns. Really excellent salaries, stock plans,
health insurance, life insurance, retirement saving plans and so on.
Now in 2015 when computing has taken over many of the menial work and
companies are making bigger profits shouldn't more companies be
offering better working conditions, better salaries.
Even in the early 20
th Century , The Cadburys ( of
chocolate fame ) were particularly concerned with the health and
fitness of their workforce, incorporating park and recreation areas
into their Bournville village plans and encouraging
swimming,
walking and indeed
all forms of outdoor sports.
In the early 1920s, extensive open lands were purchased at Rowheath
and laid to football
and hockey pitches
together with a grassed running track. Rowheath Pavilion was designed
and built in accordance with the instructions of George Cadbury and
opened in July 1924. At that time, it served as the clubhouse and
changing rooms for the acres of sports playing fields, several
bowling greens, a fishing lake and an outdoor swimming lido, a
natural mineral spring forming the source for the lido's
healthy waters. The Rowheath Pavilion itself, which still exists, was
used for balls and dinners and the whole area was specifically for
the benefit of the Cadbury workers and their families with no charges
for the use of any of the sporting facilities by Cadbury employees or
their families.
So in 2015 when Britain
is the 11th Richest country in the world are we treating
our workforces so badly with low wages, horrendous working conditions
( who amongst you wants to work 12 hour shifts ) . Why have we a
million people relying on Food Banks. Why are we treating our old age
pensioners so badly that 25,000 may die of cold this winter 206
deaths a day, 3.5 million fear they may not be able to afford to heat
their homes this winter (according to The Daily Express ).
The gap between The
Rich and The Poor in Britain is growing every day, we need to
equalise this.
The Roar Party has
already laid out that we will peg all public employees to The Prime
Ministers salary, after all why should someone running a public
authority earn more than the Prime Minister who is running The
Country, especially when those down the chain are being treated so
badly.
We should peg peoples
hours to a 35 hour week and raise the minimum wage for employees of
large companies, they are ripping the people of Britain off, we
should have a system like Switzerland where companies operating here
have to 65% British owned and no more Multinationals allowed to
escape paying tax here on their profits.
The Roar Party will give you a vote on this and all important issues.
