What are indentures?

I have mine and I have my Father's safely locked away and to answer your question when a school leaver was offered an apprnticeship he went with his Father to meet the Works Manager of the company that was providing the apprenticeship.

There, an agreement was drawn-up which listed what was expected of the Apprentice and what the Company would provide in the way of Training and the hours of work, rate of pay etc.

It was signed by all parties - the apprentice, his Father and the Company Manager and kept by the company until the apprentice finished his "time" then it was handed to him usually by the manager in a little celebration.

It tells the dates that the apprenticeship was served and the description o the trade that the apprentice is qualified in.

In my Father's case, his says he was a Fitter & Turner and in mine says I am a Precision Engineer - so what the f*** have I been messing about with wires & pipes for?? :thinking::thinking:

Piccies here (not mine though) ... > https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=a...If5D8WsUf20gsgN&ved=0CE4QsAQ&biw=1024&bih=646

Geordie - that is straight out of Catherine Cookson. I had a vivid mental image of your description.:smile5:
 
Have the same for my father who was a Tool Maker. He mislaid/lost his C&G Cert's along the way, it took me nearly two years (a good few years back ) getting copies of his cert's from the C&G Institute. Purely because of bone idleness of the staff that couldn't be bothered searching the archives, even with supplying them with exact dates taken directly from his indenture papers. Kicked up such a stink with the management side, that they waived the charges along with a written apology....

I like you ..... You're just like me - a right bolshie barstool!!! ;)

Edit:

I have written apologies from both Dawn Primarollo AND Jane Kennedy and a nice little sum of compo for the balls up that HMRC made of my Working Tax Credits some time back !
 
Haha... Still took me nearly two bloody years to get them though!!

That's about how long it took me to sort the Tax Credits out!!

I ended-up as a moderator on the Tax Credit Casualties website.

It was horrific reading about that vast number of people who were screwed over and even worse hearing about what was going on inside HMRC from the whistle blowers we had planted. It was incompetence on an industrial scale.
