Thanks for your concern Emjay,it was my brother in law who lost his job. What i find so extreme is he wasn't successful and had to go all on the same day.

Under EU law i thought you had to be given a good few months notice when you have been employed that long in his case 17 years. In his case here today gone today. He has no mortgage here so at 46 so that's good but only 6 months ago bought an apartment in Spain. And he was nothing but a yes man.Didn't do him any favours at all.

(sorry to hear about his job loss )

Thanks for the offer Chris.

We don't see see him up there as he's never invited us which my Mrs finds odd being his sister.

Sadly He doesn't invite anyone up there in his family and he's one of 4 siblings, just his mum and dad. He always knocks in on us when he's down here though.

EU law does legislate for a fair and reasonable communication process which sounds on the face of it an issue here but it would really need a professional view.

Meantime if your brother in law has a CV feel free to send it to my via email. We often recruit technical people on self employed contracts. I'm cant offer anything other than a cursory look see to see if there's a possible match for any engineer roles we are looking for but you never know where a chance conversation or meet can take you.

That's a great offer.

With all due respect however can I try and comment on the initial post, he worked for a US company, in the UK, but it's the EU's fault he isn't protected?

I can't help but feel this is part of the EU mindset that's been encouraged amongst us by politicians of all shades here. eg if it's a bad thing, it's the EU's fault, if it's a good thing it's down to our plucky politicians fighting for our right to choose (usually between having no job or a zero hours contract which is another story but hey-ho).

US company employing someone working fulltime in the UK has to adhere to UK employment law. UK employment law has received a lot of guidance from the EU.

TeXerv · 27-06-16, 09:27 PM

In EU law the period of notice is minimum 4 weeks but may be longer, the longer the period of employment has been, 6month after 15 years i.e.

Just read that S&P has rated the UK from AAA to AA with negative perspective.

In our evening news Boris Johnson promised a lot of things: Legal protection for all EU employed in the UK and access to EU markets.

I work for a US company and yes you are correct, UK employment law stands.

Is anyone ( of the Leave camp ) getting uneasy feelings about the fact that Cameron has failed to keep his promise to invoke Article 50 straight away following on from the Referendum result?

Also uneasy feelings about the way that Nigel Farage has been written out of the whole negotiation deal ? It would seem that the Boris/Gove contingent are not quite so "out" as it appeared during their campaign.

And how convenient for dear Angela Merkel to say its "no problem" if we delay Article 50 and at the same time bollocking Juncker for putting pressure on the UK to leave.

Invoke it NOW I say, and even if the new Prime Minister does not appear for 2 months that's still less than 10% of the time before we actually leave ( I hope).

TeXerv · 28-06-16, 09:55 AM

In this minutes Merkel has made a government statement in the German parliament. In short words:
No pre-negotiation in any way before the Prime Minister has invoked Article 50.
No cherry-picking. The UK must know that it's impossible to leave the EU-Family, keeping all privileges but breaking with the duties.
Both, UK and Europe now have to observe the EU law. And now it's on the Brits to declare how they want to shape the Brexit.

I didn't hear anything about the time lapse. May be she wants to give Britain a bit more time than others (like Juncker and Schulz i.e.).

Yesterday I read that the forms for Irish passports have currently run out
