Watching the news and the mass walkouts by british workers over work being given to foreign companies and workers mad me wonder what all the fuss is about?
There were workers holding banners blaming Gordon Brown for this situation??
What the hell has it to do with Gordon Brown and his government anyway?
This is an independant decision made by a company tendering out the work to the cheapest bidder.
Looking at the facts without allowing the emotions that the british workers are feeling getting in the way, what has brought about this problem?
Well perhaps they shouldn't be blaming Gordon Brown as they have just as much right to blame David Cameron for their demise, after all its his party that in the eighties under Thatcher that so heavily promoted the idea of a "freely competitive market" a Tory ideal not a Labour one!
How many of those workers protesting today drive around in foreign cars or on bikes? How many of their british comrades did they put out of work since the eighties without a thought yet now its happening to them they feel so emotional about it?
These foreign workers are coming from fellow EU countries and working here legally so what argument is there?
How many of these british workers would employ a fellow brit to work on their house if a foreign worker would do the same job cheaper?
And lets not get into a quality of workmanship argument here as there are many many posts on this forum that suggest that british workmanship is not all its cracked up to be these days.
Is walking out conveying suitable signals for future decision making over contracts to be? Does a company take reliability of orders as seriously as cost?
And finally had we not joined the EU would we have survived as a country in a competitive global economy with our workers being paid higher wages for producing something that could be bought elsewhere at less price? Have we missed the point that we are demanding too high wages in comparison to our fellow EU workers and have literally put our own jobs at risk because of this?
Going back to a previous question above to answer the poll, if you had to have a job done on your house that you were neither able or bothered to do yourself would you employ a british worker over a foreign worker regardless of cost? taking for this example that both workers produce the same quality of work.
