90,000 Building Jobs To Go

Here we go again, I think everyone is going to know someone in the near future who is about to be made redundant. Two of my husbands work colleagues husbands were made redundant a couple of weeks ago on the same day, luckily they have both found jobs but both have to work away from home and travel back at weekends.

  • A colleague's husband works for Persimmon. I think they already laid half their staff off. I have to wonder how long the other half will last.
