I used to work for kelly on installs, then we all got taken over by fuji. It was ok at the start , there were lots of promises from the great and the good at in fuji land. Very soon all the crack started to show and it was fundamentally just the same as working for kelly on VM, over worked and under paid. Then I searched out a way of joining kellys on thier BT contract. I have been here now over 1 month and it has been fantastic so far. I am paid 24k per year, I get full pay on holidays, and I am expected to complete 4 jobs per day. Training, quality and safety is at a whole new level then VM, but at least we have the time to complete everything properly by the book. I now work 5 days per week and generally I am home at an acceptable time to have a life, which I never had on cable.

So,................., maybe this is not a crap industry, maybe you are all just sucking the sweat off the dead horses balls on the wrong contract!
