“i wish i was on £38,000 per year, it is my choice to live in a council house, we have saved the council millions over the past few years and now they want to change our terms and conditions and have a 0.5% per rise this year thats less then 50pence per week a pint of milk costs you more than that, so some of the comments on here would be happy with this ? well i am sorry my members arnt happy with what is happening”

“Yep well one of them lives on Numbered Avenues and the other in the Thorpes.”

“Why is the OPE council house still tenanted by someone who can easily afford to buy somewhere with their £38K salary? A homeless family could do with that house. If I was on £38K, I would be living somewhere much more desirable than OPE.”

“Is that right Dennis and Dave get £38,000 and a car great, bought and in the councils pocket then. Boys bet you don't recommend anything good.”

“I'm not amazed that the convenor can spell intransidence after all the council pay him £38,000 plus car he is better off than most officers and the people who live near him in his OPE Council House.”

“Steve, I worked for Hull City Council, for just six months before telling them to stick their job. Anyone who really wants to work for them must be short on self-respect. I'd have worked fewer hours, got bags more pay, and therefore got more job satisfaction by being a rent boy whilst claiming dole. Plus, people would have respected me more. You get no thanks in this country for working hard, and even less pay. So I say go ahead, strike. They will find the money. They always do.”

“Ummm sack Kim Ryley theres 200k with expenses saved.
These changes are part of a long term plan and thats more privatisation which ultimatley cost more.Who pays ?We do.

“Pete you clem!!!

“I could scream when I read the letters from the likes of D C West Hull.
There are plenty to do the jobs in a recession he says.

Of course there are, but they go missing when the economy picks up and it is left to those are doing the dirty jobs now.

If the council is such a great employer, why are all those in private industry not working for a lot less sweeping the streets and cutting the grass and emptying the bins.

its a fact, don't worry about the employers doing you down, just wait for the people of hull to do it for them.

The next time there is a problem in industry, there will be the usual cry. If it was in France we would take to the streets.


Not if the people of Hull lived in France you wouldn't

Mardee, since when does employment law help you if you have asbestos related problems.

You really are a mindless fool”

“Lee, west Hull does it matter how the spelling is this is comments on a post page.

Not a application form to Cambridge

You should be happy you have a job and you get tax credits.

I do see where your coming from i started working when i was 16 and worked up the ladder i was working 52hrs a week at £9.89ph

I was asked if i would take a pay cut to £6.38 ph and work 22hrs a week 2 11hr shift's and i am working 6hrs a week for FREE........... with 8 other people because we understand that you have to give back a little so that the business keeps going

Its a drop for me and my family
but I jumped at the deal

I have worked 6 years at £9.89 and am more then willing to change my working life so other people can still have a job

So shut up and grow up.”
