I know the feeling @Vortigern... Keep hearing about a slow down but the phone keeps ringing and quotes coming out of my ears.I have a lot of work at the moment. I did take six weeks off at one point, site was closed. But the work was still there to do. Plenty of other work coming in as well. In fact I might have to turn some down if I can't get a labourer/improver.
Do any of you just sub to firms CiS? I’m not set up on my own. Don’t want the hassle. I just sub myself to companies as labour only. Are there any lads like me on here who are struggling? I haven’t worked since mid marchSo after all this Covid 19 stuff. How are people doing for work? Are many people still off work?
I’ve had nowt since mid march. I just sub to firms labour only cis. And the rates I’m seeing are shocking. I won’t be ruching back for those ratesand just seen an ad. on telly today. donate to help african kids with cleft palates. £12.50/month or a one off £150. What planet are these idiots from. We all struggling to make ends meet due to covid19, wondering if we can scrape enough to pay direct debits and keep the van on the road, and these clowns think we can just shove that sort of money their way. Same thing with XXXX has to walk 6 miles every day for a bottle of WKD Blue. Note: I do have every sympathy with those kids and wish them all the best.
Wonder who they'll end up getting for that sort of moneywork more or less dried up now , did lots of small jobs in June which had all been put off due to coronavirus so was Quite busy for 3 or 4 weeks but now just
got one small job to do in August but that’s about it

What as ? A labourer ?
In fact I think my mate, a bricky, pays his labourer more than that.
Absolutely awful mate. I hope you expressed your extreme dismay toward the employer regarding those rates.electrician rewiring office blocks

They will when something goes wrong, that’s the industry that’s been created, so long as there’s someone at the bottom to throw under the bus all’s good at the top....If they are offering those rates they won't care.
