its the same here in coatbridge we have mackinnon mills and my aunt works there

some months she works some she doesn't at the moment they had been told the contract they have can and will be terminated at anytime as its cheaper to employ them on that system than hire them all full time shes been made jobless about 7 times in a few years and taken on again from the company which i believe is part of the Edinburgh wool mill

lets hope the staff there in lochcarron might end up in a similar situation a part time basis is better than no job at all
