I USUALLY work as a lifeguard. I sit at the side of the pool and looking at people swimming up and down. Occasionally, I’ll tell some kids that “no” they can’t dive headfirst into other swimmers and then I go back to watching the pool.
When the Covid-19 outbreak began I thought I was going to be out of a job due to being on a zero-hours contract. Every casual worker for South Lanarkshire Leisure and Culture was in the same boat.
People were annoyed at this, to say the least. We had been told that we were to work any shifts we had over the next 24 hours and after that we were on our own, but the casual workers decided to do something about it. We quickly got 110 signatures on a petition demanding our average pay, or failing that, average hours.
