Hi there, I work for a big national company who have a contracts division (who only pay pricework), and an industrial division.
The company has made it policy across the board that everyone has to wear either overalls or long sleeves/trousers because the refinery/power station/oil rig "scaffolders" have spat the dummy out and said "if we've got to wear all this then should'nt the pricework boys do it aswell?!"
Prior to this i thought that the reason us contracts boys didnt have to wear long sleeves (and most of the other hinderances) was because WE ACTUALLY DO SOME BLOODY WORK!!!!
But what the f##k do i know?!
I think that in exchange for us having to drown in our own sweat all day; I think that the industrial boys should all be put on pricework, with no exception.
What do you think of that boys? No more dragging out an 8 ft tower all day!!!:amazed:
Or better yet how about we do a job swap and I'll go to your power station and act all smug about managing to fit a 3 board wide tower between some pipes in a glorified dusty cupboard, as you go to a real building site and try to put up 80m of tube & fitting independant with a labourer, in your overalls!!
Rant over:evil:
