Thank goodness all these manufacturers are now introducing government-backed, properly remunerated apprenticeship schemes with first-rate practical training and formal college tie-ins to ensure this never happens again, eh?
Now that the agencies they use have exploited every other nation for cheap workers its come full circle, they need us again, ita time they paid proper wages!
There is almost never a worker shortage. There is almost always a pay shortage.
Maybe improve hours, conditions and pay?
Bridge it with sovereignty 🙂
Work in a factory. Pay rises coming at the end of the week. Oh wait no, it’ll be a pay cut because we sure as shit ain’t getting 9%
there are at least 3 companies within an hour drive of, me where one is still abusing ‘disposable’ temps to get rid of anyone complaining about conditions, and the other is still running burn and churn for unsustainable production targets. then there is another business that infantilises its staff telling them they need to stand near their work station with their hand up until a supervisor lets them go peepee. and those are just the ones i know of.
another ‘independent’ joinery business i just left, refused a better role that i was already correcting mistakes from and can do better than 2/3 the workers on personal experience, because they didnt want to pay ‘skilled’ rates.
there is no labour shortage and very little skills shortage. there is a pay and specific training shortage. along with putting business and managment degree toting iidiioots in management positions, rather than the secretarial roles such degrees barely qualify them for.
