The post you are reporting:
Thank you for your support, but a couple of points about yesterday's business meeting.
I chose not to go because I thought the President (as Vic rightly says, Cameron McSween) would be there and I did not want to get into a puiblic slanging match.
It was NOT about a salary, it was NOT about not signing a contract - I didn't get the opportunity to sign any contract, pure and simply, I was SACKED.
Does anyone really believe that after working for over four months, Monday to Friday, early mornings, evenings and some weekends UNPAID, that I would walk away from a job that I felt I was born for, because I wouldn't sign a contract ?
I would have been happy to continue working unpaid until such time as a more realistic salary was offered.
I didn't get the choice to sign and it is wrong and very very unfair of Cameron to publicly lie about this, but then I guess it is his and Alan Shirley's word against mine.
The money the Town Council donated to the Chamber as a contribution towards the DBS Manager's Salary was conditional upon signing the Contract within a timescale, this has not been achieved.
I have been treated in the most shabby way because I dared to write to the members of the Board, to question them both on their policy and ask for change.
The Chamber Board is not made up of ostriches with their head in the sand, but the leadership is made up of people with absolutely no understanding of the real concerns and needs of local (small) businesses and have no idea of how to get things done.
And just one last thing on this posting, it was NOT Cameron's idea to bring the market to Dover it was mine; I went to him and said this is what we should do and he agreed.
