If you want to post this as from "a source" be my guest - if I do it it might blow my cover. Bevan Vigo is on the branch committee in London and has the "privilege" along with fellow b/c member Dennis Dutton of sacking bethelites. They have just told the head of telephones/electrical that his services are no longer required. He is late 50's and been in bethel for 30 years! Shameful.
They have just told the head of telephones/electrical that his services are no longer required.Has he been cut off?
Totally with Slimboy on this one....
This is going to have a ripple effect in the halls over the coming months. There are going to be more then a few that wake up because of this....
The cost of keeping a bethelite must be pretty tiny anyway. How much are they given a week? Like £50 pocket money or something, plus they get (got) food and washing done for them. Any business that can't get value out of someone for that sort of remuneration doesn't deserve to survive.
On the other hand how much does it cost to jet the GB and their entourage around the world constantly? Millions of pounds I'd imagine. Flights for GB, their wives, all sorts of hangers on, accommodation for all the same, tourist stops, eating out.
Slimboy- I thought they paid for health benefits too?
I'd say the cost is $800 per month for each Bethellite.
That would be $9600 per year for each person.
$9600 per year, per person x 1600 people they are cutting back on = $15,360,000 in savings per year.
It's a significant decrease on expenditures when added altogether.
But, you make a great point. For them to be flying all over the world doing whatever the hell they want is an insanely sh*tty thing to do.
That should have been their first cutback.
Thirty years and out on his ear? Would this guy have legal recourse? Would he take it if he did?
I don't see how. Unless they made some sort of contract promising something, I can't see where the legal recourse would be...
It's only $15 million savings going by the assumption that these guys are adding no value at all. The head of telephones and electrical doesn't add value? The next time they need a fix or electrical work done so they need to pay an outside contractor? How much will that cost? Deduct that from the savings, and so and so on.
Getting bethelites to feed and clothe themselves is highly dubious as cost saving too. How much extra time does it take to do this individually rather than collectively? If they reckon bethelites will have to do it "in their own time" they can probably count on plummeting morale and even lower output. Again, savings?
