A few thruths about Virgin media engineers (Kelly Communication ones!)

[sweaty]

after working for that bunch of cowboys in the past I was really surprised BTOpenreach decided to use them again. I thought the claims of 24k and 9-5 working would be false. Hopefully BT will see the errors of their ways but if you expect the CWU to step in, don't hold your breath. From personal experience, most of the union are just keeping their cosy pensions and benefits ticking over. After working for BT and having a dispute with them, I involved the union and I ended up doing most of the legal work. The CWU just did not care.

They are also in breach of contract, demanding their staff come to the yard at 7.00 and work till 7.00 (instead of the contracted 8 till 5).
The equipment that they use is not fit for use and thinks that their U/G training of a couple of hours means that you will do the job well!!!!!!!
Also, setting unacheivable bonuses to make their staff work harder is a joke!!
I would advise BT to drop this company and/or a union to be set up to protect its staff from its blood thirsty money grabbing managers who dont know their digital from their analog!!!
P.S If you expect to achieve their £24k after the 3 months, forget it!!!

I worked for Kelly's for just under a year and hated every second of it. They had no idea of how to treat there workers other than crapping on them from a great height.
