Every sympathy. I am so glad that the labour market is far behind me and I can enjoy being retired although I have to cope with mobility problems as well. I was made redundant from 4 different jobs in succession and ended up taking one employer to an industrial tribunal. As a former trade union officer, I knew what I was about -they didn't - and I won. Didn't do me much good financially tho'

I really believe that we are on a slippery slope towards victorian attitudes to workers so its about time the revlution began - I will be there on my mobility scooter.
