First of all, he should get in contact with someone in Labour Relations with regards his previous job, he was seriously shafted if those figures are correct.

On the second question - probably best just trying out local recruitment agencies - the much maligned Jobcentre is also a decent port of call.

Poor fella!

I am thinking that the shop job was not above board in anyway? Report em, I would. It's totally disgracful treating people in that manner. Sounds like they will do it again and again until someone stops them.

As for the job- can't help you there I am afraid. Guess you could phone around all the warehouses listed in the phone book?

If he wants to try other jobs, then pub work/restaurant might suit him - although beware the working over 40 hours a week in some of them. He should get paid by the hour though, so it could be to his benefit.

By law you should sign an exemption of rights (I think it is?) saying that you agree to work over 40 hours a week. Just keep that in mind.
