“I worked for Tube City on the works, now I'm employed by Appollo doing the same job. I'm afraid that's the way it's going, more and more of us are on yearly contracts taking home low wages, little bonuses, no company pension and no real benifits. The Tata lads get the cream but there's fewer & fewer of them as retiring employess are relaced with agency workers like me.”
