I think our company would close without migrant workers (from any nation)*
everyone here is open that they are here to earn more money than they can at home
most send cash back others are saving up to buy a house
i have no beef with that
untill the wages increase over there they have an incentive to do s**te mundane jobs in the uk and other places in europe that 90% of the indigenouse workforce wouldnt get out of bed for
im not saying that they are the only jobs they are good for, far from it
some are taking any jobs and learning english enough to get a job in the field they have skilled themselves in, or have good enough english to begin with but their quallifications are not recognized over here (yet) so are taking the relevant exams
the lithuanian girl (raymondia i think is the real spelling, im finding it hard to fancy a girl with a blokes name :-p ) has gone back home to take her vetinary exams and would like to be a vet in the uk more than back home, perhaps for monitary concerns perhaps not, she rarely works near my end and id have to go out of my way to talk to her ... and most days i cant be bothered so i pester the chef's instead.
*some due to the benifits system and job apathy (im not cleaning a toilet for £nat min wage" but would you do it for £15?
one of our english employees' mate was after a job and she told him which agency to apply to
he was turned down for not having the right skills
the right skills
what skills do you need to wash dishes
or do the right skills mean the ability to speak polish? she came to the conclusion that the agency activly refuses employment on the grounds of nationality
