  4. Mate of mine worked in Philadelphia for UPS. He had to work New Year’s Day.
     
  5. Two weeks leave a year is plenty. Especially when you are expected to work seven of those days for free.

  6. there's a bit of " according to the ONS" .going on in there. dodgy, v,dodgy
     
  7. Funny thing in there, well two really

    In brief

    Claim
    The EU gives British workers the entitlement to 28 days' paid holiday.
    Claim 1 of 2
    “[Because of the EU] over 26 million workers in Britain benefit from being entitled to 28 days of paid leave”
    Jeremy Corbyn, 2 June 2016


    Conclusion
    The EU minimum is 20 days. The British government increased it to 28 to cover bank holidays.

    The EU Working Time Directive, originally introduced in 1993, gives workers the right to “paid annual leave of at least four weeks”.

    That was put into UK law in 1998. At the time, there was no right to a minimum number of paid days off, and the government had tried to stop the EU introducing one.


    is it worth mentioning that in 98, the government was ...Labour and Tony Blair

  8. Ignores the rise of the far right and it’s growing influence in British politics. It’s a long way from Thatchers “white van man” brand of conservatism where being self employed was about empowering the individual not making them a slave to an App supplier
     
  9. Yes, the red tories.

    Good point, well made
     
  10. Please explain who the far right are in the UK, their "rise" and their influence in British politics. :thinkingface:

  11. it also says this
    The EU gives workers the right to 20 paid days off, but the UK government has increased the entitlement to 28.

    The EU Working Time Directive, originally introduced in 1993, gives workers the right to “paid annual leave of at least four weeks”.

    That was put into UK law in 1998. At the time, there was no right to a minimum number of paid days off, and the government had tried to stop the EU introducing one.
    .
    but the government made it up to 28 days. when? 1998? must of been blair.
    and what government tried to stop it and when? was it the government in 1993?
    according to that it wasn't put in to law until 1998.
    sounds very ONS'y to me.

  12. It was created in europe in 93 fin but many countries took some years to bring it within their country, in the U.K. it came in in 98, the government that tried stopping it was labour under Blair

    it was increased to 28 days (8 days more than the eu standard) On 1 April 2009, this increased to a minimum of 5.6 weeks for a full-time worker (28 days). Bank and public holidays may be included in the 28 days. The government on this date was Labour and Gordon Brown as pm

    and no...the snp didn't give us these extra days either :D
     
  13. john major was pm in 93, so the torys fought it for four years?. not v,clear from that ONS'y tory think tank looking piece.
    hmm that wasn't to hard was it. do you think that was one of 2-3% of EU legislation the uk voted against
     
  14. The Far-Right is actually libertarianism. Freedom of the individual and responsibility for self. Minimal governmental interference.

    Fascism, Nazism, collectivism ... all types of totalitarianism, all basically leftist. Far Left, to be precise.

    A relatively brief period of careful consideration and cogitation will show this to be self-evident.

  17. Well fin, I'm cooking my tea at the moment but when I finish, just for you, I'll have a look at how many eu countries adopted the wtd immediately and how many adopted it years later. Just as a giggle what do you think the outcome would be, most delayed it, some, a few, etc ?
     
  18. but we are brittish, we are better than them. mother of parliaments voted against it for four years.
    a fine bit of debunking from the think tank there. regular source of yours?
     
  19. Well the Germans have 29 days, probably just wanted 1 more than the brits :D Whilst i'm having tea fin, you could always check out the other eu countries current holiday entitlement if you're that interested?
