and take advantages because they are old!! Wait a minute!! u bastard also will also grow old don't forget!!
Why don't we pay the Ministers $10.00 an hour instead of million??
Was told a few years back by an acquaintance working in an employment agency that such library jobs (non full time, that is, temporary, part time, contract employees, etc) are being handled by another employment agency.
In actual fact, the library pays the agency more than $5 oer hour for each of these workers, but the agency recruited and employed such workers for only $5/hour or even less. So imagine, for each hour, each day, each week and each month that the worker works, he/she actually is allowing the agency to earn money through such exploitation. Of course the agency will try to justify that in handling these workers for the library they incur costs. What bullshit - putting up small adverts in TNP and Classified, collecting time sheets of the workers, deduct the salary for agency's profits, crediting the workers bank accounts after each end of month. coordinating assignments, etc - tasks that can be handled easily by just one agency worker. In the meantime, each worker is actually working and then paying the agency money for such middleman tasks.
Imagine, one un employed uncle or aunty, no choice but to accept and do such a job, for example, $7 library pays agency less $5 agency pays worker X 8 hours a day X 6 days a week, X 4 weeks a month = ($7-$5) X8 X6 X4 = $384 per worker per month. Multiply this by say 100 workers, then you can see how really profitable this operation is.
On the other hand, it also makes me wonder, why in the first place the library sub contracts such jobs to an agency and also allows such blatant exploitation, the majority of such workers being students, housewives, people with no other available jobs, the poor and the weak.
What kind of 'inclusive' society are we becoming.......
