Dont get involved in a job such as this which involves piecework. What will you do during quiet periods? get paid nothing?. Also piece work genrally equals rush rush,crap jobs. It seems to be that the modern trend is to hire people who cart toolbags on piecework rates now. Its yet another exploitation of tradespeople. If they cant afford to resource and pay the operation properly then the job isnt worth doing. Maybe they can get some Polish engineers to do it,it the same way that the country is supposed to be awash with Polish plumbers. Funny that we never hear about Polish lawyers,doctors,dentists,estate agents though isnt it? Oh no,the exploitation and job fear factor is only to be applied to the manual classes,not the so called professionals. Dont do it mate.
