The investment as it was put forward by the trainers was a long term thing, so a fundraiser has to sign up so many and after say a year the investment would see a return. It was run as a business. I would say that after a little experience the people actually on the street are good manipulators and thats what makes them get the signups. Morally chugging is not a good thing but is that offset by the results it achieves ?

All chugger companies are bad and should be closed down as they rely on press gang methods to make a profit.

If there are none – then yes you are right, employers / managers can do as they please, However, with so many call centres being off shored it leaves us with very little to fight.

WHAT IF – you are spending a lot more money than you’re making?
Let’s be honest you said it yourself ‘ business/charity’ it’s a business! The aim of the game is to guilt trip customers into giving you money? I was appalled by a particular interviewer at home fundraising in Manchester. She was quite comical. All I learnt in my training was how to guilt trip people into giving you money. I’m sure all the charities that you represent are decent but it’s clear to see that all the money you make do not go to the charity. Profit’s being made somewhere!

I have been impressed by the quality of the people training me and some of their attitudes towards the charity as a whole. I have also heard about the figures behind the investments and I think from a business point of view it makes sense, its simply A case of spending money to make money. I also challenge anyone to disagree as from my viewpoint my business/charity is a whole lot more ethical than any one else’s. I am genuinely interested to know anyone else’s viewpoint. I also when working have to follow a strict protocol in regards to ensuring the best possible donors are selected and to get the best return for the charity. It was actually my first day today so I am still learning.

]]> Comment on it’s their parliament, not ours! by arranjames https://thecommune.wordpress.com/2009/05/22/its-their-parliament-not-ours/#comment-15350 Wed, 24 Apr 2013 22:32:38 +0000 https://thecommune.wordpress.com/?p=2672#comment-15350 Only one point I’d want to address in a tone of criticism: “Far from Parliament safeguarding freedom for ‘the people’ it perpetuates this social system and the property and privilege of the ruling class”; I think we have to recognise that the real trick that they carry out is in safeguarding particular kinds of freedoms for “the people” in order to placate, distract, redirect, but also to threaten. David Cameron recently said that if people wanted to assemble to party it up after Thatcher’s death then that was there “democratic right”, which of course, in the mouth of the head of the government, means that it is tolerated so that “you ‘the people’ can’t claim we are repressing you”.

“If part of that struggle involves communists entering Parliament it is to use it as a platform to attack capitalism as opposed to rescuing an institution past its sell by date”.

Absolutely.

I can’t help but think that in all of those other reactions people are talking about we’re really seeing the structural effect of the media in an age of acceleration (ie: the thing happens and it can be reported on while it is happening, maybe even in anticipation of its happening). All that people have left is a purely emotional response, there is no time to think critically, and so we get this moralism that tries (and usually succeeds) to capture populist impulses.

Good read.

]]> Comment on euro crisis is more than a euro crisis by duvinrouge https://thecommune.wordpress.com/2011/10/26/euro-crisis-is-more-than-a-euro-crisis/#comment-14561 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 12:51:02 +0000 https://thecommune.co.uk/?p=7493#comment-14561 Again Bill you’re not understanding what’s been written. An expansion of debt allows for the overproduction, when the law of value tries to assert itself, as in September 2008, the authorities can respond by printing money, such as QE effectively. This only allows overproduction to continue & at an even greater level. It can’t resolve the crisis just postpone it. But importantly it can’t do this forever, eventually you will get hyper-inflation. This may be where we are heading as they continually refuse to allow credit money to collapse. So we don’t just end up with a recession – falling output – but with debased currencies.

“The only other organisations that could have had a major impact in the 1980s were Labour Briefing and WF/AWL”

I think RA and AFA comes within the remit of having an impact if Labour Briefing and other small grouplets have.

Isn’t it time that the left comes together as a body to fight these cuts not organisationally but practically.

The media hype about benefit spending is out of control and is all about benefit cheats is exposed as cynical lies once you remember that the majority of people on benefits are Pensioners.

According to the institute for economic and social research, in 1979 unemployment benefit was 22% of average earnings,today it is 15% of earnings.

The claim that poverty is about shirking work is dishonest when you consider that the majority of children and working age adults in the UK, who are in poverty, are also in working households: 6.2 million people.This is due to very low income.

Only 2 weeks ago I was at an interview with a quite rude interviewer. I find it rather odd that I’ve managed to attract a worker who works at home fundraising @ Manchester..Manchester being where I attended the interview. I am glad I didn’t get the job, I couldn’t work for this company. From what you’ve written their methods are indecent and immoral.

Thank you very much for sharing the links and information with me Mike. The interviewer certainly didn’t enlighten me with this information during the ‘orc process’..what an absolute joke. The fact that hiphopvibez attempted to basically threaten me (or hint legal action) for sharing my opinion and asked for an apology is quite comical and just shows the company to be what it is – a joke!
