Greedy Queen Elizabeth Employs Slave Labor Tactics to Save a Few Million on The Buckingham Palace Summer Zoo Crew – Zero Hours Contracts – No Benefits – No Guarantee of Minimum Hours
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2381787/Buckingham-Palace-uses-controversial-zero-hours-contracts-summer-staff-employment-costs-down.html
The contracts have proved popular with employers as they do not set a minimum number of hours that have to be worked, allowing firms to draft in extra staff at short notice during busy periods.
But trade unions have warned that some employers have used them to deny basic rights to workers.
Those employed under the contracts say they do not know if or when they will be working from one week to the next, making family and childcare commitments impossible.
Buckingham Palace uses the contracts for temporary staff working in its shop and the State Rooms during the summer.
A spokesman for the Royal Collection Trust, which employs the temporary workforce, denied that the deal equated to a zero-hour contract.
She conceded that employees were not guaranteed work but said rotas were issued around a month in advance, meaning workers could plan around their hours.
A copy of a staff contract from 2009 stated: ‘Your hours of work will be advised by the visitor manager and will be dependent upon the requirements for retail assistants at Buckingham Palace as and when required.’
Somewhere on the timeline of trying to return the middle class to
slaves to serve inbred idiots like the “Royal” Windsor Parasites is Zero Hours
Contracting for Temps.
While it might be a good thing to share some summer chump change
with high school students who want to work at the palace and put it on the
resume.
This whole intern, slave labor,
on-call 24/7, show up or die kind of lazy, lazy, evil management with no benefits employment is
something that is not down the road in America but just around the corner at
Wal-Mart?

Walmart Slave Labor Worth $1200 A Pop, Dead – Sale Price Falling to $1000 A Head By Tomorrow
http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/1200-life-clothing-company-pays-peanuts-families-factory/story?id=17814618#.ULQShIfAdBA
A company that makes clothes for Sean Combs' clothing brand ENYCE and other U.S. labels reassured investors that a factory fire that killed 112 people over the weekend would not harm its balance sheet, and also pledged to pay the families of the dead $1,200 per victim.
In an announcement Monday, Li & Fung Ltd., a middleman company that supplies clothes from Bangladesh factories to U.S. brands, said "it wishes to clarify" that the deadly Saturday night blaze at the high-rise Tazreen Fashions factory outside Dhaka "will not have any material impact on the financial performance" of the firm. …
Wal-Mart confirmed Monday that its clothes were being made at the Tazreen factory. Even though Wal-Mart is famed for maintaining tight control over its supply chain, the company said its clothes were being made at the plant without its knowledge.

47% View themselves as Victims of Vulture Capitalists – Lunch with Locusts and Vampires?
When capitalists like Mitt
Romney and Bain Capital sweep into town and turn viable factories and local businesses into lunch for locusts on pension funds, benefits, employee incentives and are they left at the side of the road like a raped hooker unpaid by their rapist johns –
Mitt Romney and Bain Capital -
Maybe, just maybe their self-esteem goes down the drain when
they are unemployed in a one factory town where they have lived all their
lives, where they next lose their homes and watch their families disintegrate as a result of economic chaos after Bain leaves town.
Maybe when Mitt and Bain
have shipped their jobs to China to the slave labor under the Communist whip,
they feel like they have heen Victimized. Maybe they see themselves as victims.
Victims maybe temporarily
for a while before they get over the feeling of being a whipped dog, a dog tied
to the roofs of the cars of Vulture Capitalists, maybe the next round belongs
to the American workers and not the pricks in $1,000 Armani business suits.
Or maybe Mitt is 100%
right as victimizer and exploiter of the working poor in America, maybe the
strange parasitic vampire kristianity practiced by the polygamist inbred Mormon
cult leaves them worthy to be thrown out in the trash when the vampires cannot
get another drop of blood out of their victims and Ann needs a new Cadillac as
proof of her husband’s “love”.

Steve Jobs – Culture Bearer or Culture Destroyer
Steve Jobs is dead. We all die.
He was an active member of the human committee of change that caused so much change in my lifetime. Personal computers transformed the planet. They also made it easy to turn paperwork into an abstract digital and make outsourcing millions of American jobs elsewhere possible, in the flash of an eye.
Change is inevitable.
The PCs were from the early part of his career.
Coming out of retirement to give vision to APPLE, I see him in something of a Henry Ford role. Although he did not invent the computer, the same way that Ford did not invent the automobile, Jobs had a similar knack of finding a better way to mass produce computer technology into the market place.
Hand held mobile technology with narcissistic names like iPod, iTunes, iPhone, and iPad became the eye candy necessities of the upper end of the American middle class. I assume that “i” stands for information and not the “I” of ego.
I read one tribute that in China, tears were shed at the news of his death.
I read one tribute that in China, tears were shed at the news of his death.
In all fairness to the slave labor producing this expensive, obsolete in six months, eye candy technology over there, perhaps a fitting epitaph of Steve Jobs life and work can be summed up in fitting tribute:
APPLE, the Nike of hand held mobile technology.
Whatever.
Whatever.
Life goes on.
