London bus strikes

Feel free to take a PSV test. Free uniform is hardly a perk, having to wear a uniform is a major disadvantage -- it'd be worse than having to wear a suit! I spend about 1,500 p.a. on clothing and laundering, so free uniform would be a perk for me. But free travel, paid holidays, paid sick leave, contributory pension are all luxuries to someone who is self-employed and earns nothing when ill or on holiday, has to provide his own pension, medical insurance etc, etc. Typical contractors we employ in my office get about 2x normal salary -- and that's quite low for the field. If you're in a £24k job and spending 10% of your net income on clothing, you need to get a new job. |
