Its a must to treat and pay all stable staff in a fair and just way, without these unsung heroes there would be no racing at all, which is a proven fact.

Absolutely agree. Stable staff are the backbone of the industry. This includes stud farm workers. The canteen food at the sales complexes & racecourses is often appalling and unhealthy. Bank holiday pay is non existent, overtime....what's that?! Understandably the small outfits struggle to stay afloat & keep bills at bay but without the staff they wouldn't exist at all.

The whole ISSA needs a revamp it needs professional representation not what we have now conditions of canteens and what is on offer is just the tip of the iceberg there is far more deep rooted problems that need to be seriously addressed unfortunately at the moment there is no representitive for stable lads able [or willing] to do this

Racing staff need to be treated with respect both at the yards and racing. Have better conditions and not be out of pocket for basics such as food and drink. Is there a phone number to inform on bad practice? ie if whistleblowing xx
