What's the problem with what MAM does really? . Its not his or the casuals fault that QF won't hire directly or give f/t jobs. MAM is just the puppet separating QF from what would otherwise be their legal obligation, to make those doing the same (or more) hours than the average f/timer, permanent. They tell him when and how many to bring onboard, they also have the final say on who gets the gig. No-one truly thinks he gets to call all the shots and just tell QF how many uniforms to have ready, do they ?

There has been plenty of plot thickening comments splashed around this week but surely even the most moderately intelligent of people understand that this is just the tip of the iceberg, as it were. Like it or hate it, its the law folks and until that changes for the better, nothing in our workplace is going to. Yes he's making a killing, but he's not the first and definately won't be the last !

Casuals are encouraged by virtue of the law, no smoke, no mirrors, no sub plots..... just the law. Blaming anyone else for this atrocity is just a waste of time. Its not MAM, its not the union, its quite simply the law.
