uktemps - temporary and part time jobs

Rolls-Royce will cut some 2,300 jobs to reduce costs and improve efficiency across the engineering company.

A spokesperson for the group said that its cuts will extend across the UK, US, Germany and the Nordic region. Although it is not understood quite how many jobs will go in the UK, it is thought that the cuts will affect all types of managerial, professional and clerical staff. On a positive note the company has promised that they will continue to recruit for graduate programmes and apprenticeships as well as hiring staff that will bring direct growth to the organisation.

Picture 80 brand new Jumbo Jets with your van signage on them, or think of 200,000 Aston Martin’s DB9’s, alternatively consider the 1.1 billion people across the world that live on less than $1 (50p) a day and that if you had £24billion you could feed that many people (over 400 times the population of the UK) for 2 months!

The Treasury collects £32 billion annually and £8 billion goes to the roads most of which is spent on repairs and maintenance, the remainding money of course doesn’t get wasted, however subsidising a failing (and occasionally dangerous) rail network might not be the best route for investment.

So when you’re next on a delivery and sitting in a traffic jam think of how your transport tax is being spent…..
