You said
paying minimal wages with crap working rights.
This I strongly disagreed with as all workers in the UK have the same RIGHTS, their individual terms are different and whether they are c**p or not is a matter for debate. They are certainly different but no-one is forcing people to sign the new contract.

If the conditions are so poor (can we use poor rather than the unnecessary scatalogical reference?) then people will not stay very long. That perhaps is the point of this contract, that people will not stay forever but leave after a few years.

Your reply of:
Dunno about you but I'd say that they were pretty crap conditions myself.
focused on the terms (the conditions in which they work are the same as the heritage crew) to which I made no reference or comment.

I just wish people would use the words they mean and understand those words, it makes the debate so much more reasoned and less emotional. Please try to read what people write and respond to that rather than getting angry about what you think they have written.
