Stopping work on Health and Safety Grounds The employer’s attention should be drawn to the existence of S.44 and S.100 of the Employment Rights Act. This prohibits individuals who have left the workplace in circumstances of danger, which they reasonably believe is imminent and cannot be averted, from being subjected to a detriment or dismissal. Where employers are not operating safely or in accordance with government guidance including the heightened hygiene provisions, social distancing and the provision of PPE, then an individual can justify leaving the workplace, refuse to return where any danger persists or take appropriate steps to protect themselves. Any such decision would be on the basis of their own decision regarding their workplace as to whether there are “circumstances of danger” which they reasonably believe would be serious and imminent. This does not mean returning home, but removing themselves to a place where that harm no longer exists or until such time as that danger is minimized or averted. If this situation occurs officers should revert to the Q&A materials that have been circulated and/or contact their legal officer for advice on how to proceed. These individual rights do not apply to all categories of worker particularly those that have the status of self-employed. However the duty for employers, hirers or contractors to provide a safe working environment for all those engaged in a workplace applies consistently. Where poor safety practices are reported to the union, Unite will make the appropriate interventions with those organisations to ensure the highest standards of safety are maintained. https://unitetheunion.org/media/3069/009-riskassessandprocedures-2020-05-07.pdf

Did the Union in the place sign a collective agreement ? Either way companies can't use the Job Retention Scheme to pay a redundancy. If they have tried to they will not get the money off the government. The company has to pay the furloughed workers up front and then claim the money back, no way will they get it back if it's used for redundancy payment.

I think you may have redundancy payment mixed up with payment in lieu. Companies can furlough employees while also serving them their notice. So in effect the government pays them 80% of their pay in lieu (company pay 20%) paid over how many weeks notice they're entitled to. This is taxed as normal. Then after the weeks in lieu they will then get any redundancy money owed, this is tax free.

..."then i did my Popeye impression and ashley gave me the job"

Yes, you are correct he just said "Ronaldo is not going there, Lionel Messi is not going there and Mbappe is not going there" So i wonder who he was thinking our "expected signings" were ? Maybe he assumed we were expecting those players ?

Oh NO !!! John Barnes says Newcastle United fans have to lower expected signings from Ronaldo and Lionel Messi I really really, really really thought we were going to sign these two. Thanks John for helping to stop me from being deluded. https://www.themag.co.uk/2020/05/john-barnes-says-newcastle-united-fans-have-to-lower-expected-signings-from-ronaldo-and-lionel-messi/

Avast yee Arrrrrrghhh me hearties need not fret the scallywag scoundrel ashley won't plunder us no more. Arrrrrrghhh

Instead of singing " you'll never see a mackem in Milan" We'll have to sing, "you'll never see a mackem in pennywell"

Boris would actually say "it's kind of sad but kind of not"

Richard Keys again https://richardajkeys.com/index.php/blog/238-what-exactly-are-we-trying-to-achieve Of course the PL has got another. massive issue to decide on this week. Does it waive through the Saudi led takeover of Newcastle? Before going into a bit more detail - let me say this - if it does, it will never again be able to mount a winnable case against Piracy. Stream away guys. For getting on for four years now, the Saudi Govt has supported the theft of intellectual properties owned by the beIN Media Group. It has cost the company I work for millions - probably billions. It also cost 400 of my colleagues their jobs. The PL know full well the extent of what’s been happening because they’ve been at the forefront of trying to sue for their losses. Nine times they tried to take legal action in Saudi Arabia. Nine times the companies they wanted to use were shut down. All the facts are available in previous blogs I’ve written. People say to me ‘aren’t you scared of the Saudi’s? Should you really be saying what you do?’ Scared of what? The Sovereign Fund buying Newcastle is a separate entity to the Saudi Govt. Or at least that’s the basis of the argument that’s being made so that the takeover can be waived through. Of course that’s nonsense - but just to be sure - I’m not thinking of jumping off my balcony any time soon - nor do I have plans to visit any Saudi Embassy! Mike Ashley has a lot to answer for if the deal goes through - and if half a dozen Sports Direct outlets open in Riyadh over the next few weeks then we’ll all know what it was really about. I’ve said for months that there’s another deal on the table - and the Daily Mirror’s article a week ago proved me right. The American, Henry Mauriss wants it and he’s not short of a few bob. Surely that deal would suit the Toon Army? Why not? It would get the PL out of a tight corner, that’s for sure. Shame on the British Govt if they continue to sit on the sidelines and do nothing. What are they trying to protect? I’ll tell you what they should be protecting - the £7.6billion that the PL contributes to the UK’s GDP every year - and the 100,000 full time jobs underpinned by the League’s supply chain. How is this in danger? Again - simple. If broadcast rights can be stolen without consequence then they become worthless. Trust me, any time soon the big broadcast companies will start putting down sports rights. If the PL thinks it’s got a problem in the short term because of Coronavirus you ain’t seen nothing yet. The real problem is coming hurtling down the track. Boris Johnson perhaps believes that he’s ‘protecting trade deals and jobs’ by cosying up to the Saudi’s. You always hear noises about ‘arms deals’ at times like these. Mr Johnson, have you noticed that the world has never been more ‘conflict free’ than it is now? We’re all fighting a common enemy - which doesn’t need ‘arms’. And we don’t need ‘arms’ to fight it. So what exactly are you protecting? I expect the Saudi deal will get the nod of approval this week. If so - good luck to everybody connected with the club. As for the rest of us - as I said - stream away. What a sad, unprincipled world we live in. Be careful what you wish for Mr Masters. And all of you on Tyneside. Oh - one last thing. Has anyone noticed what a staggering resemblance the proposed in-coming Chairman Yasir Al-Rumyyan has to me?
