No talking about the last thread.

The usual rules apply.

Let's keep things as civil as can be.

Dan Jaman

Oh, a new thread.
Sometimes, there are benefits to being up all night wrestling with ebay.

Red Kev

Did the other one collapse due to a "bad line", so to speak ?

sligojoek

People complaining about the ferry to France.
Waste charges.
Something else.


He gave out a new "YEW KAY" number today. I wonder will he go down the Brexit route. I don't think he's touched yet.

He better not go waffling about Irish Ferries being some sort of national carrier when they don't actually have 1 single boat registered in this country, the Cypriot embassy is where any complaints should be sent regarding Cypriot vessels.

sligojoek

Ah now, AD. Don't be going muddying the waters with facts

And eh, where's Atlantic Dawn registered or is that the Annelies Ilena?

Dan Jaman

Angus?

Atlantic Dawn

Fair play so to speak Jamall.

sligojoek

Angus. Ha ha.

I can feel a hatchet job in his voice.

Atlantic Dawn

So was his first contract a full time contract?

Atlantic Dawn

What colour are the Deliveroo stickers?

Dan Jaman

Another company peering over the Duffy Abyss.

Atlantic Dawn

Sort of a Wexford Indian accent.

Well I spose that is the irony of all the "worker's rights" in Ireland. They only seem to apply to the unionised workers, who abuse them by holding the nation to ransom.

Ally Dick

He sounds like the creator of Johnny Number 5 in the film Short Circuit

SEPT 23 1989

i thought all couriers were paid per drop

Atlantic Dawn

So is he an employee or a contractor?

Per drop or per mile.
Generally speaking, yes. A retained courier is an expensive guy to keep hanging around, and I only ever knew of them in the BBC, etc.

mrsdewinter

Deliveroo's biggest mistake: taking on an articulate guy who can analyse a contract.
Anyway, back to Liveline. Another glimpse into the brave new world of the precariat.

heehee

Atlantic Dawn

Next caller with an actual problem please...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deliveroo

Deliveroo is a British online food delivery company that has operations in the UK, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Belgium, Ireland, Spain, Italy, Dubai, Australia, Singapore & Hong Kong.

Orders are placed through the Deliveroo website and then self-employed bicycle or motorcycle couriers transport orders from restaurants to customers.

Atlantic Dawn

Eh no Joe.

furiousox

wurk

stoplooklisten

they hardly put all that about the last time this happened in the letter?

Red Kev

1913 ? Exaggerate much Joe?

Ally Dick

This is a zero hours contract really

PeterTheEighth

citing 1913, and no doubt James Connolly to follow... And Duffy himself paid multiples of the average industrial wage, by the poorest of Irish society.

Oops69

Welcome to the real world jamal , the small guy never makes any money

stoplooklisten

Ve vill deliver

Atlantic Dawn

So Joe ask him is he an employee or a contractor.

Atlantic Dawn

Finally established he is not an employee.

2smiggy

sick pay ? are you mad, they are contractors

Dan Jaman

Sick pay?
Holiday pay?

Hahahahahahah.

stoplooklisten

insurdance

SEPT 23 1989

is he insured to carry for hire or reward?

snubbleste

"Everyone is self-employed so to speak"
Ok, in what context can that so to speak even make sense

Ally Dick

They're looking for wardiors, not employees

jetfiremuck

Caller might as well drop off his t shirt get his deposit and move on. Not happy too bad .

stoplooklisten

you changed my life...lol

Atlantic Dawn

You have changed my life...I am now a fat lad.

PeterTheEighth

I'd love if one of these small companies set up Duffy. Create the scenario where you have an "ex employee" who rings liveline to complain about a particular company. Duffy will loves "holding people to account" as long as it's not himself, so he'll bring on the company owner. Then when they bring you on, go straight for Duffy, his hypocrisy, his wages, his double jobbing, everything.

stoplooklisten

next caller...i have a job for that lad

Ally Dick

Ah yes. Go the IT route. Undercut an Irish employee

2smiggy

who will offer Jamal a job in IT ? Brendan O' Carroll ?

Dan Jaman

Big surprise - courier company stiffs drivers.
Move on.
