Quitongo's Left Peg Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Tonight, the BBC will air a documentary called 'Low Pay For Life', in which seven of our top clubs will be "named and shamed" for not paying workers a living wage. The clubs who don't the living wage are... Aberdeen, Dundee United, Motherwell, Hamilton, Partick Thistle, St Johnstone and shockingly, Celtic. Should be interesting viewing.

Kyle Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Shite state of affairs from Saints. I'd much rather we sacrificed a squad player - McFadden for example - and pay the workers the living wage. No excuse for it, especially when you brand yourselves as a family club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sting777 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Disappointed but not surprised to see Thistle in there. Glad these clubs are being named and shamed. Unacceptable from my club! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accies1874 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Pretty poor from us. We've raked in a hell of a lot of money from McArthur's sell-on, Andreu, McAvoy and Neil going to Norwich and Hendrie's compensation within the last year so no excuses. We're willing to spend at least £1m on a dome and £300,000 on pitch repairs (despite being told our pitch is pyoor top notch) yet can't pay the people an appropriate wage - embarrassing.

The Saintee Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Saints don't even pay players the living wage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarreZ Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 These clubs should instantly be relegated with this seasons relegations/playoffs scrapped. Its the only fair way to deal with a problem as large as this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Standard to see ICT not on that list of scum clubs. We really are the greatest club in the country. By some distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accies1874 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 A whit?A dome It's meant to be getting built over the 7s pitch behind the goal and will "host concerts and boxing matches" etc. It got brought up when we were doing really well and everyone was in harmony but there's been no talk of it since Canning took over.

Stu Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I can't believe we're not on that list. We must have got out of it on a technicality or just not bothered to respond to the media inquiries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
