UK, Ireland / No Irish Need Apply - Polish Builders get their own back [42]

Why did you change your accent ? was it because you did not want the English to know that you were Irish ?

was that for me????

I am back and forward to Dublin from WRO, every 3 weeks, and every single time I go home like last night, my friends are asking: is it true polish builders don't want Irish workers??/

My answer is still the same: one polish contractor fell out with an Irish main Contractor, this guy is from OPOLE, A Small City in Poland, WHERE THE INCIDENT DID ACTUALLY OCCUR; he put up a sign saying: NO IRISH MAY APPLY!

Everyone, even radio station got a hold of this, it's flying around Ireland like wild fire why??? because there is 300,000 poles doing well here and the IRISH feel this is unfair and are very angry!

So....again I keep saying it: one man is pissed off with another, yes he put up this sign, but it dosin't mean the whole of Ireland is not welcome in Poland! not that the building game is appealing to such builders, yet, as the wage is peanuts!!!!

UK, Ireland / No Irish Need Apply - Polish Builders get their own back [42]

I am an Irish man living in Wroclaw, who worked on building sites in Dublin during the Celtic Tiger....

Polish workers woke us up! we missed work every monday until you guys came, yes you were needed and I think youse are great workers: Contractors were also woke up during this boom: safety became recognised as very poor on Irish building sites, but only after a lot of lives were lost due to cheap skate Contractors. year after year the fatalaties got worse and worse until a march through Dublin opened up some very crooked eyes!

Things got better and better, as pressure was enforced in ways that changed laws for ever: a contractor can now get imprisoned for life if he does not follow safety properly.

Please, don't go closing your gates on the normal joe soap because greedy culchie contractors got up your nose, we are all in the same boat - the working class!

History / Polish Anti-semitism - origins? [186]

I am from Ireland, and have like so mamy other Irish people welcomed and appreciated Polish people from the time of their arrival to our country...there are 300,000 Poles settled in Ireland.......SO WHY IS THEIR SIGNS UP IN POLAND THAT IRISH PEOLPLE ARE NOT WELCOME? : BUILDING FIRMS IN POLAND ARE ADVERTISING FOR CONSTRUCTION STAFF REQUIRED WITH A FOOTNOTE THAT SAYS: Irish need not apply?

Can somebody please tell me why? is it just a small minority who were maybe not treated as well as they feel they should have? If this is the case then why take it out on the whole of ther Irish people, rather thsat the person too whom you are sore at?
