rate of pay with the bigger more profitable companies giving extra benefits

This is the era of the free market where an employer can negotiate rates of pay - usual downwards - with a prospective employee. Personally, I believe that increments should be paid for length of service, punctuality, sickness rates, accident rates etc. but most companies won't do this. Instead they complain about the difficulties of recruitment and retention of staff. Sadly, this policy applies in many places of work in Thatcher's/Cameron's Britain.
