I see from one of the pappers down there that Express gifts had trouble finding local people to do the seasonal work that they have. They have recruited a third of the required number from eastern europe to fill the staff requirements through agencies. I did not realise that there were so many jobs around Accrington that people could or would not apply for a job there. Christmas is just round the corner and yet some will not take this work to boost there income for the festive period. I did agency work for 3 years and had no problem with it as the company as in the agency classed me as full time with them so I was given the benifits that go with it. Is there a stigma on seasonal agency work or are people looking for something that pays a lot more? At the end of the day some work is better than non and with the topups from central govenment can be worthwhile so were did it all go wrong?
