Tea boys and girls? piss off mate, you try working at £2.50 ph.

I believe alot of companys use this "apprenticeship" as a loop hole to pay young people like my self slave labour wages.

I think everyone who works (even as an apprentice) should be entitled to the NMW.


But you are learning a skill/trade! What about those collecting trolly's, flipping burgers or waiting staff? They are doing the same thing day in day out.

Oh and when i was 16/17 i was on £27.50 a week, in a YTS! I was just thankfull that i got dosh by other means! We don't need to stop 'earning' when the day job ends.....

im not learning fuck all mate, all i do is sit in an office taking phone calls from angry customers all day everyday. i would get a job on full time wages if i could but there is nothing where i live absolutaly nothing. I just dont see why it is so hard to pay aprentices NMW.

If you went to college or Uni to learn a trade you would get sweet fuck all, in fact it would cost you to go to Uni.
30-50k isn't it now?


My son has been told that if he receives his predicted grades, he has a place at the university of manchester's medical school. The debt is closer to £70k mate.<br /><br />-- Tue May 29, 2012 6:11 pm --<br /><br />

Apprenticeships are normally placed through a Learning Provider such as a college and there should be a written agreement as to what training should be provided. If you've been placed through a Learning Provider try to speak to them and raise your concerns, they may be able to advise you.

Is there a union for apprentices?

If not how the hell would i go about starting one?
Find out which Unions organise for your trade or line of work and contact them.I`m sure they will give you all the advice you need. Don`t take any notice of the tory anti union dickheads who post on here, you have a fantastic idea, especially with all the attacks workers are facing at the moment. Go for it mate.


Yes, that is the way forward, a union for fucking tea boys and girls! This would be the killer for a lot of apprenticeships. I know i wouldn't take one on, if they enquired about unions. 'Tory dickhead" lol.

Why shouldnt young people in Apprenticeships be able to form/join a Union?

They are workers like anyone else after all.
