Why is it not fair?. Do you ground all planes so pilots can eat easter eggs on Sunday? The argument for people to have specific days off don't hold water, if you don't want to work those days get a job that doesn't work them, or own the shop and make your own decision. |

So lets just warn everyone not to work in retail then. |

If the Gov ever changes the laws then expect every shopping mall to be open the next year and your Easter and Xmas holidays gone the following year.. |

I DO OWN my own business.- and I wont work those days - IF and when the law changes Then I will decide. People need time off, if they dont get it, mistakes and some costly can happen. legally you get 20 days holiday in this country so what is the problem really. Whats the problem - Well just the other day I heard on the radio, that some companies are asking staff to reduce their leave to 3 weeks and work longer. Which comes back to the point - work or look someplace else. |

| 764316 | 2009-04-13 10:11:00 | I have 20 days holiday pay owing to me, I asked for the cash, The answer was no, That's against the law. Hell, If I had 20 days off in a row I'd go and get a job..... That aside, Big contract,longer hours, Plenty of money....woohoo. | Metla (12) | ||

Thats Ok if a person can handle it - but if they cant, and most know what Metla does for a job - it could cost you your life or a fellow workmates ( as you have pointed out a few times) if you over do it and make a mistake. I'm sure your wife and kids would rather have a husband & Father and a few less $$. |

Those that don't like it are free to not work here, and as I tell them, If they had got an education they wouldn't be stuck doing this ****, So make sure you let your kids know how the real world works. Hanging around on the streets instead of going to school gets you a job on a demolition crew. On a roof, 6 stories up, removing asbestos sheeting off an 80 year old structure in a freezing gale in Invercargill. | Metla (12) | ||
