UK, Ireland /
Unemployed due to Polish who work in the UK [126]
I wasn't digging you out Truebrit,
I can see some concern with a huge influx of migrant workers, however some people do not put their point across very eloquently.
Let me give you an example, if say a British bricklayer earns 500-600 pounds per week, has a wife and kida and a mortgage that he knows his salary will cover, and a migrant worker comes to UK to do the same job but accepts say 300 pounds. Why should a Bricklayer trained in the UK have to struggle in that field. It doesn't mean he is lazy, just very unfortunate.
I believe that if it affected other fields of work like IT to use an example it would cause some unrest i'm sure.
I would just like to see some stability on earnings so as undercutting doesn't become such an option, or at least not to the extreme that it has happened.
I am all for people fighting for work, but by quality and ability alone.
I don't have any problem with migrant workers before anyone starts to berate me, that is an issue for the goverment.
Oh balls did any of that make sense, i find it hard to concentrate on a friday when the weekend is looming..
Have a good one..
