Looks like a politician saw a chance for a bit of publicity. Though having said that PL clubs have no excuse not to pay a decent wage to employees Imo. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3793529/Southampton-accused-failing-comply-minimum-wage-laws-advertising-job-6-50-hour.html?ITO=1490 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisenberg Posted 18 September, 2016 Share Posted 18 September, 2016 We are a family and community club and sure this was just an administrator error. Saying that perhaps those cost savings we insist on are from top to bottom. Not sure why we don't outsource this stuff anyway - ticket master for example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Without a Halo Posted 18 September, 2016 Share Posted 18 September, 2016 What a busy old git. So we were complying with wage regs anyway. As this publicity was created by a Southampton councilor, surely he was better off talking direct to the club? If he didn't then I suggest fans consider that when he comes up for reelection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuncanRG Posted 18 September, 2016 Share Posted 18 September, 2016 He's absolutely right to ask the question, but perhaps not with such inflammatory language in public. If the advert was simply '£6.50 an hour' without the age stipulations mentioned in the club statement, that appears questionable. If not, perhaps Pope's gone a little overboard, but it's good to see the civic duty being fulfilled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ringwood Posted 18 September, 2016 Share Posted 18 September, 2016 staff turnover is mainly down to the poor management at lower levels , HR within the club is poor, jumped up low level managers with no people skills just lose staff who can get paid more in other similar level jobs and are mainly there because they want to be part of the club, that soon loses its attraction, and yes I do have personal experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st alex Posted 19 September, 2016 Share Posted 19 September, 2016 That councillor's an clueless moron. He posts regularly on the Southampton Heritage Photos Group on facebook. Where he seems to advocate closing Sea City Museum, Scraping the Guildhall Square Arts Quarter, delisting and demolishing grade II listed Wyndham Court....

Professor Posted 19 September, 2016 Share Posted 19 September, 2016 How does Pope promote the best interests of his City by going public with an issue that he could have asked the club about? From what's been said, would have got a perfectly good reply because minimum wage changes over time and is different for young people. The advert is immaterial as long as the person appointed was paid a legal wage. There is no evidence in that press article that they were not but this looks like a politician more interested in publicity than in the truth.
