I know i sound racist and i hate that i do ive always tried to be fair and treat everyone the same its just hard when you see all your friends out of work, members of your family struggling for money to feed the kids and pay the rent and the news going about thousands unemployed and stopping benefits and then you go to work and maybe 10% of the people that work there are local and the rest polish or portugese. Ive never worked somewhere so depressing before it just gets you down all these people talking around you in another language and you just standing there for 12 hours
Would have to agree with Borras81 Gap are useless. They advertise jobs that dont exist, Tell you you are unsuitable for a job even if you have worked there before doing the same thing and they do favour foreign workers over local people
I know what the line leader was telling them because of common sense. He was pointing to the labels on the panels an there were 2 types when there shud be one and i didnt say my friend had a 30 year morgage said he lived there 30 years. It was a council house then he bought it. Im sorry if you think im lying but why would i?
Well after being laid off ive gone back to sharp only because i was desperate for money over xmas and all i can say is its worse than it was before. I dont want to sound racist but im a line of 16 people an its me and 15 polish. I stand there for 12 hours with no one to talk to its like torture even the line leader and shift manger are polish its mad really and does get you down a bit when they are all talking but dont want to talk a welsh lad. I was on the line the other day an there was a mix up with different models so the line leader told the polish operators either side of me to check in polish but didnt say anything to me. I dont mean to racist but a friend of mine lost his house recently that he had lived in for 30 odd years because he couldnt find work and i think in the whole shift im on its maybe 90% polish and i think it needs to change.
I worked there for a few months and had the phone call 2 hours before my shift not come in again i was told all agency contracts had been ended till further notice. It was exactly how others have said though we would get taken in the office and told quality, we must make perfect panels and then out on the line any old rubbish was past. I spotted hundreds of faults and was told to just pack them itl be ok but it wasnt or we would all still be working there. A friend of mine was phoned at 6:15 am to cover a shift and he told me that not a single person from wrexham was there. Every person on every line was polish. Now im not racist when i worked there i got on with everybody i just dont think its fair the only people that are left working there are polish. I worked hard the whole time i was there, never late and only had a few days off due to a death in the family. Its not fair they way polish people are always chosen first for over time, keep there jobs. the women in charge of the agency onsite are all polish, 90% of the supervisors are polish and it wasnt nice having people around you all day talking another language when they could have been saying anything.
