Proceeding contribution from John McDonnell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 29 March 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Rail Engineering (Jobs).
Rail Engineering (Jobs)
I think the experience of Jarvis has sent a message right the way through the industry that this is no longer a secure job. The message from what has happened to the ex-Jarvis workers is this: ““No matter how skilled you are, you will not necessarily be properly rewarded in terms of wages, decent conditions or the long-term security of your pension, regardless of how hard you work and whatever skills you have in the industry as it now stands.”” That is why it is critical that we take a lead in this matter and bring all the stakeholders together.
