[cma-l] Volunteers, charity, and back to work schemes

[Canalside's The Thread]

Now then now then    time to sink the old teeth into the nitty gritty
first debate of the year

 

''Here we go, here we go, here we go''     the good old Community Radio
Network and Brotherhood having to invent schemes / methods / modes of
ducking and diving under, over, around things that are in fact actually
quite straight forward.

 

It seems to have developed into some kind of disease.

 

I'm not having a pop at you Ron, what you say is spot on .. You are correct
.good idea...however, if things are running in a common sense simple manner,
then we don't even have to resort to these type of things.

 

Like I say, the mind boggles and the fairytale continues.

 

By the way, legally you would have to pay the wage and then it would be up
to the individual to pop it back into the Pot -------- picture the scenario
of paying twenty folk and then they do a runner   LOL      we might be going
to Poundland for a loan

Offer the position as a job, paid where the wages are donated back to the
station.

Dear all,

I wonder if anyone in the CMA world is up to date on how to address the
back-to-work schemes which apparently oblige people to work in Poundland and
such like; and prevent them accordingly from volunteering at our radio
station.

Several volunteers here are distressed that instead of being able to offeri
us their services, they are being forced to take more or less unpaid work
elsewhere. I do not know how best to address this nor whom to approach.

Any constructive advice would be appreciated.

Thanks and a Happy New Year!
Yours

Ed



PS I really do not wish to start a long thread about the iniquities of
government policy, the shoddy goods on sale at bucket shops, the brutalities
of post-industrial capitalism, the true nature of the PRS, etc.
