ferno Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 And pray explain how you come to that sweeping generalization It's not mine, it's the employers: Employers prefer workers from new EU states to 'lazy' Britons. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/employers-prefer-workers-from-new-eu-states-to-lazy-britons-476372.html Migrants workers from the new European Union states are filling jobs that indigenous UK workers are not prepared to do, but for much lower wages, new research shows today. Three quarters of employers said they believed European enlargement two years ago had been good for business, the Joseph Rowntree Foundation said. A survey of 1,000 migrants and employers by the social policy research and development charity, found employers used highly qualified migrant workers for low-skilled and low-waged work. The findings will be seen as confirming the view of the Bank of England that immigration keeps down wage inflation by relieving labour shortages.

ferno Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I know one farmer that puts his summer workers up in the barn for the time they are here working the fields. Breaches are reported to council housing officers, who inform the council if they suspect gang masters of housing workers in unsuitable properties. What happened when you reported it?

ferno Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 A survey eh..1. That doesnt say that Brits prefer the dole you stated they did.. Read the thread|: Last year, as the number of Britons with jobs fell by 311,000, the number of overseas-born people taking jobs in Britain rose by 181,000 or by 495 per day. And employers everywhere are quite categoric as to why this is happening: British employees, they say, are lazy. They turn up their noses at manual jobs, or any work they consider too menial for them, whereas Poles and other Eastern Europeans are only too willing to work all hours and turn their hand to anything. What do businessmen think? By Alan Sugar, Daily Mail, 10/06/05 - Business section THE FACT that we are now relying on bus drivers from Eastern Europe to shore up our public transport is a national disgrace. But I extend the warmest of welcomes to the new recruits. The disgrace lies with the British workers who now refuse to take what they consider 'menial' jobs such as bus driving, forcing employers to look outside the country.

You made a generalization that quote.."Brits prefer the dole" your survey link doesnt say anything like that ,if your comment was true there would be a hell of a lot more than the approx 3 million out of work, wouldnt you agree ?

MrSmith Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Is this how our young should be treated in order to compete for work? Joseph Rowntree Foundation Modern slavery in the United Kingdom A review of the nature and extent of slavery in the UK today. 2007 marks the 200th anniversary of the abolition of the slave trade in the UK. Slavery, however, continues and is commonplace across the world. Thousands of people are estimated to be working as slaves within the UK, in highly exploitative conditions, with no rights, and under threat of violence. The Polish workers A group of Polish people came to work in the UK. They had expected to go to Southampton but were brought to Exeter to pack chickens for a major supermarket. Arriving late at night, they waited outside a house whilst inside frightened-looking Afghans threw their own things into bin bags before being driven away. The Poles spoke no English, had no money and didn’t know who they were working for. They were not employed directly by the factory supplying the supermarket but subcontracted in a complex supply chain through labour agencies.
