When you work for some one ,its an agreement between employer and employee
Ether side should be able to end this contract without compensation.
If we had this system there would not be a need for employment agencies and there parasite cut,
Or fat payoffs for public sector fat cat managers.
This would be a free working labour market, working both ways

If you hired 3 painters to do your house
And you weren't happy with one of them, would you still keep him on ??
You don't have to work for your boss
Your boss shouldn't have to employ you
This way you have an open employment agreement, no need for employment agencies

Can this man turn David Cameron into the British Obama? Tories hire Jim Messina, the mastermind
behind the President's re-election
The former deputy chief of staff at the White House was once described as the 'most powerful
person in Washington you've never heard of'
An American elections expert who masterminded Barack Obama's successful campaign to retain
office has been hired by the Conservative Party to help David Cameron achieve the same feat,
the party has announced.
The Tories will be advised over the next two years by Jim Messina, a former deputy chief of staff
at the White House and Mr Obama's campaign manager last year.
He was a key figure behind the Democrats' development of sophisticated campaigning
techniques to reach crucial groups of electors and the targeted use of social media to get key
messages across to voters.
Mr Messina is a revered figure in US political circles and was once described by the White
House communications director as the "most powerful person in Washington you've never heard of".
His recruitment, which is being viewed as a major coup by the party, will come as a surprise
given the historic links between the Conservatives and the Republicans.
But Mr Obama's ability to assemble a winning coalition of voters in two elections appealed to
senior Tories who know they face an uphill struggle to achieve an overall Commons majority
after the next election in May 2015.
The President also managed to be re-elected against a backdrop of economic gloom.

Zero-hours contracts 'more widespread than thought'
Healthcare workers in the UK
Zero-hours contracts are found mostly in the healthcare, education and hospitality industries
More than a million UK workers are on zero-hours contracts with no guarantees of shifts or work
patterns - four times official estimates, research suggests.
A survey of 1,000 employers by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development
indicated 3-4% of the whole workforce were on such contracts.
Some 14% of affected staff could not earn a basic standard of living.
A review of the contracts by Business Secretary Vince Cable is already under way, amid union
calls to ban them.
Under zero-hours contracts employees agree to be available for work as and when it is required.
Figures from the Office for National Statistics last week suggested 250,000 workers were on
zero-hours contracts.
The news emerged as it was reported that part-time staff at retailer Sports Direct and a number
of London councils were among those employed on such terms.

This has happened in the construction business forever, if there's no work there's no work.
No man has the right to demand a wage from another. I might come to your house Reg and demand I cut your grass for 40 hours a week

Michael Fallon defends fracking comments
Mr Fallon has described fracking as an "exciting new energy resource"
Villagers meet fracking protesters
Peer to visit 'desolate' North East
Energy minister Michael Fallon has defended comments about fracking, in which he appeared
to suggest the process would affect those living near gas drilling sites.
Mr Fallon told a private meeting it would test "how thick their rectory walls are" and "whether
they like the flaring at the end of the drive".
In the past, he has described shale gas as an "exciting new energy resource".
The Tory minister told the BBC his latest comments were "light hearted".
His remarks, reported in the Mail on Sunday, were thought to be aimed at Spectator magazine
journalist and former Daily Telegraph editor Charles Moore, who lives in a rectory in East Sussex and has written
about his support for fracking.
The comments came amid protests against potential fracking in West Sussex.
Fracking uses high-pressure liquid pumped deep underground to fracture shale rock and release gas.
Environmentalists fear it can cause small earth tremors, water contamination and environmental damage.
Friends of the Earth said Mr Fallon's comments would "resonate across the UK and fuel more opposition
to the government's disastrous support for fracking".
"We need an energy policy based on cutting waste and developing the nation's huge renewable power
potential - not one that wrecks our clean and pleasant land," a spokesman said.

Revealed: 'Big lie' behind the bedroom tax as families trapped with nowhere to move so cannot
avoid new penalty for having spare room
96% of benefit claimants who will be penalised cannot be rehoused
The Government's justification for its controversial "bedroom tax" has been debunked by new figures
showing that up to 96 per cent of those affected have, in effect, nowhere to move.
The figures published today in The Independent expose the false argument behind ministerial
attempts to spin the move as ending the "spare-room subsidy", and confirm campaigners' claims
that it merely penalises poor people.
The policy means that tenants have their housing benefit reduced by 14 per cent if they have
one spare bedroom, and 25 per cent if they have two or more spare bedrooms.
Yet more than 19 out of 20 families hit by the bedroom tax are trapped in their larger homes
because there is nowhere smaller within the local social housing stock to take them.
This is shown by figures provided by councils in response to Freedom of Information requests.
For the 38 councils that provided full data, 99,079 families are expected to be affected by the
bedroom tax, but only 3,803 one and two-bedroom social housing properties are available - just
3.8 per cent of the homes required to rehouse the families who are hit.

Theresa May under pressure to scale back crackdown on suspected illegal immigrants amid
mounting criticism of 'racist' spot checks
Tories fear spot checks and billboards are a political gift to Ukip
Theresa May, the Home Secretary, was under growing pressure from within Tory ranks last night
to scale back the tough new crackdown on suspected illegal immigrants amid mounting criticism
of her department's tactics.
The Independent disclosed last week that officials had conducted a series of "racist and intimidatory
" spot checks at railway stations in areas with large ethnic minority populations.
It followed controversy over a campaign in which trucks carrying the message "go home or face arrest"
toured several London boroughs.
Both schemes were signed off by the Home Office. But the Liberal Democrats have condemned
them, insisting they were not Coalition policy.
It emerged that Lynton Crosby, the Conservatives' chief election strategist, who had been widely
assumed to be behind the trucks scheme, feared the initiative had played into the hands of the
UK Independence Party (Ukip).
He is understood to have made his displeasure clear during a private meeting with a lobbying
company in London, agreeing that the initiative had created an unnecessary row over tactics and
distracted from policy.
It also gave a platform to Ukip's leader, Nigel Farage, who condemned the initiative as ill-conceived
and "unBritish", Mr Crosby agreed.

Royal Navy sends warships to Gibraltar as part of 'routine' exercise
A fleet of British warships will visit Gibraltar this month in what Prime Minister David Cameron
calls a "routine deployment", amid escalating tensions between the UK and Spain over access
to the island.
The Ministry of Defence confirmed that the frigate HMS Westminster and two auxiliary Royal Navy
ships will be sent to the Rock, while another three warships will visit Spanish ports.
They will be accompanied by an elite commando group from the Royal Marines and naval air
squadrons. The MoD says the deployment is "long-planned" and not connected to political
disagreements, which began following discussions in Madrid over the imposition of a €50 (£43
) fee on every vehicle entering or leaving the island via the Spanish border.
