General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

For salaried jobs, sure. But the likes of ford would be looking at hourly workers. Where your job involves working with other people. Such environments always needed working hours. But nowadays, few have anything close to 9-5. Even retail tends not to be any more.

But more importantly. Moving away from hour in any lower paid job. Is just creating more opportunity for corporations to rip staff off. It is already way to common for corps to find ways to not pay for the odd bits of time worked.
