Author Topic: Employment rights and protection in the UK Ken McFall Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 615 From: Haringey, London. Registered: Apr 2001 posted 08-14-2003 08:55 AM                     Well it's time to close this item.... It seems that unless you have money to pursue justice you're out of luck. I really hate letting the bastards get away with the shit way they have behaved but I cannot afford to persue it. I appreciated the many kind messages and support from the people who read my story on my site. I was also surprised at how much is known about City Screen by you guys in the States... mostly negative. One thing I do have is a long memory and I can only do my best to make sure people know what to expect from them. On a positive note I don't work for a shit employer anymore. The site is still up and running if anyone is interested, drop me an email. So a big thanks to you all. Regards Ken. Oh and while I rememeber.. My thoughts are with Lyn Goleby, Tony Jones and the share holders of Arts Alliance who bought into the company.... wishing you all eveything you deserve in the future.  |  IP: Logged Darren Briggs Master Film Handler Posts: 371 From: York, UK Registered: Dec 2001 posted 08-15-2003 12:41 PM                        Ive held off putting my two pence worth in here, but it seemed to me that it was only you who has ever had any major problems. Who knows, who cares, but it sounds like its a closed thread now for all involved.  |  IP: Logged Michael Harlow Expert Film Handler Posts: 170 From: Faversham, Kent, UK Registered: Jul 2002 posted 08-15-2003 01:05 PM                     Ouch at Darren  |  IP: Logged Ken McFall Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 615 From: Haringey, London. Registered: Apr 2001 posted 08-16-2003 06:26 AM                     Thanks Darren, just what I'd expect. The problem I had was being paid £26.000.00! Regards.  |  IP: Logged Peter Hall Master Film Handler Posts: 314 From: London, UK Registered: Dec 2000 posted 08-20-2003 08:09 AM                        Ken - All bitchyness to one side, what are your plans ? We may not have seen eye to eye on many things but I do feel it would be a shame to see your skills disappear into a non cinema application... (I think you were driving buses when we first met !)

Registered: Apr 2001 posted 08-20-2003 09:23 AM                     Hi Peter, who knows what the future holds.... Lyn has really screwed things up for me.... but then she's done that so many times before to others.... God she's even done it to you! you don't need to comment on that. The word dismissed on any CV is not helpful even when an explanation is given and they get to see all of the letters involved. Yes we've had our ups and downs and I'm sure we'll have many more.... got to keep it interesting! The bus driving thing was only short term and I'll NEVER do it again. They don't get paid enough for the abuse they have to cope with. Cinema is what I know and what I love... GOD HELP ME!  |  IP: Logged Ken McFall Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 615 From: Haringey, London.

Thanks again.  |  IP: Logged
