monkey104 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Cheap labour. Serious question! Are migrant workers not subject to the national minimum wage? If working in the fields is subject to the NMW then why can't the unemployed declared fit be forced to do this work. They should be given the option, do the work or lose your benefits.

I suppose that would depend on whether benefits are provided for folk who couldn't find work rather than those who simply don't want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People desperate for work get only the minimum wage, but do extra for free without complaining, some claimants are not desperate enough, and is the work advertised at UK job centres?

I thought all that farm labour work was cash in hand / under the radar / dodge the taxman so as to circumvent restrictive legislation such as NMW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the unemployed get the opportunity of a wage four times it's worth, as do the migrant workers when they take their wages back home out of this country. If the unemployed were forced to do the seasonal work what are you going to do with them when the season ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gomgeg Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Forcing people to work in fields. Look how far we've come. What's the problem with giving people the option to work or lose benefits? Perhaps the reason some don't want out of the EU is they won't have an excuse to stay on benefits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make it worthwhile then and pay them more for doing the job,that's the price you pay for not having low paid,non contributing migrants in the country and using the infrastructure,according to the 52%,it's worth paying at any price to stop that,hands in pockets time to get the country back,it's not just about voting,there's money involved too,get it paid out of the EU budget that won't be going to the EU..............oh,hang on a minute,the bus told us where that was going.
