    Your Punch & Judy style of debate is quite comical. He is paid per kilo. If you want to refute that then please provide a source or at least a shred of evidence.

    His payslip says nothing about him being paid per hour.

    His payslip outlines that he worked 48 HOURS and then the column to the right of that states the monetary amount that equates to. Its so simple I am surprised it has to be spelt out to you. I'd like YOUR source of how this man is paid, given you are clearly reading something outside a payslip.

    In your rush to explain the employment methods of a company, you have made libellous statements against this mans character and I can tell you that is not comical. Needless to say, its reported.

    Scotty...you'll be getting employee of the year award from Keelings all the defending your doing of them !!
    I'm not defending Keelings though, I'm defending our need to keep the food supply chains open. It's that simple.

    In the video, he claims that there was not enough work. I have now answered you on this several times.
    They don't get paid at all if there's not enough work. You think Keelings pay them to sit at home if there's no work to be done?

    Edit: Sorry, I see the point you are making now. He 'claims' he was let go because there was not enough work. I suppose Keelings could have told him that to try and make him feel better. Always hard sacking someone. But I suspect the real reason is he was not very good. As is evident on his wage slip.

    Logical. You better hope a mod gets to this thread before the person you dismantled without foundation sees it, Scotty. Bye Now.
    He took part in the video. I didn't ask him to.

    You can't go showing your €480 payslip and then claim you're only getting €200 and expect not to be called up on it.

    That's the MINIMUM.

    I doubt the unions will be showing payslips for any of the workers that pick above the minimums.

    I see we've now moved onto being outraged at €13 a day for accommodation/transport and the lack of en-suite facilities. :rolleyes:

    You wouldn't get a hostel for €13 a day, and transport included too!

    They aren’t staying in a hostel. Moot point.

    The €95 seems to also cover utilities and travel expenses (company bus).

    Just with a quick look on datf, the cheapest I can find is a two bed appartment in Ballymun for €1500/month. That's about €93/person/week based on 4 sharing. But then you have all utilities and travel on top of that.

    All in all, €95/week doesn't appear that excessive.

    If you add 900 people to the local rent market all of a sudden, you're going to see a pretty hefty spike in rates.


    To compare this with daft.ie is daft.
    It you have 900x95x25 weeks = €2,223,000. A nice wee sum.

    So you think people who are sharing rooms working picking fruit paying €2 more than career people probably working at Airport. I cannot imagine them staying two to a room and one toilet/shower for 4.

    I simply think its way too much.
    BTW thanks for info as it helped me make my point.

    Its not a moot point. If accommodation wasnt provided, they'd probably be staying there. Whos going to rent out a house for only a couple of months a year?

    Closing while I review some recent comments

    There's a fair chance it will not be re-opened this time as the discussion has been done to death
