This includes stewards who are hired on full-time contracts, because it is illegal to tell someone they cannot work when they have a contract that says they can.
Quote: No G4S did not "take over employment" at any of the venues, G4S used its own staff. I wonder if you think your own post might be used as evidence.Ahem, you were the one who stated that companies like G4S took over employment during the Olympics:

Enough of the thinking I use my own posts as evidence; you can't even keep your posts consistent.
'Took over employment', yes right it I can see how easily that phrase can be misinterpreted so I would right that differently. And I apologise if it caused any confusion.
At the same time a part time worker may not have legal title, but on forums we are not restricted to legalese as such I stand by the statement 'the Olympics took the jobs away'. As if it was not for the presence of the Olympics the stewards in all probability would be working.
'Full time stewards', that is an interesting concept for a cricket ground, how could you steward without people to steward?
Sure there are senior staff responsible for the hiring and firing and management of staff And there is a head steward, but these are not really the stewards we are talking about are they?
I mean the term steward to cover people who steward, have you a different definition?
