Lost in translation

I am not an interpreter, I only speak a little French from school. I work in Coventry for £9.20 per hour and I live in Birmingham, it costs me £10.40 each day to get to work, I have to pay this myself. I spend 40 minutes getting to and from work each day in my own time. I cannot choose to attend my work I must turn up every day or be fired, as I believe it interpreters are "offered" jobs which they can decline due to the weather coniditions, family issues or perhaps what sport is on TV that day. We, the normal people, cannot boycott employers who refuse to pay us top rates, that is against the law and anyway we could not afford to do that, no income means no food, are you living off your stockpile of cash built up over many years of earning good money? GET REAL you guys, get in to the same world as the rest of the working population. We are all suffering as a result of the last Labour government selling us out, it is a hard life, just get on with it and do not moan.
