*we are not paying higher wages so you need to bring in people who will work for food*
To be fair the CBI they have been consistently critical of Brexit but this has always been constructive. This is just another solution to help economic growth. What isn’t constructive will be the mouthbreathing xenphobes who want migration effectively stopped.
If the pay and conditions was better i would pick fruit in the summer or help with the harvest but you treat your workers like shit so I don’t bother.
Stop paying incapacity benefits to people that don’t need it. Lots of these people are scamming the system. Get them back to work.
The doctors don’t care about the system and will sign people off at the slightest made up ailment.
I know 3 people with nothing wrong with them given hundreds of pounds a week. 1 person gets £160 and food vouchers.
The system is a joke and being exploited.
If you’re obese or an alcoholic or a drug addict you are deemed sick also. Everyone is scamming.
Translation: if we don’t have an unending supply for cheap foreign labour, we might actually have to pay our staff a liveable wage.
Well that’s not happening any time soon, so try plan B. Convince your members to:
1. Increase wages where the skilled workers exist but are doing something else; and
1. Invest in training current employees so that the skill workers actually exist.
This simple two-point plan can be applied to any industry and I offer it to the CBI totally free of charge in the interest of the common good.
CBI is also saying: “the Budget has no plan for growth”
It does but it’s all concentrated where the country needs it in energy infrastructure. Liz Truss tried a “plan for growth” and we know how that didn’t work.
“bring in cheap foreign labour please so companies can keep paying their staff peanuts! That way the chairmen can afford to upgrade their yacht still”
This is what all those resettlements are about, hotels full of immigrants in the UK and now cheap lodging in central Dublin.
Good luck trying to get those Albanians to reliably show up to work though.
We’re plundering resources from Africa and the Middle East again, but this time it’s being cheered on and anyone against it is called racist. Neoliberalism disguised as compassion has really done a number on most of the “progressive” elements of society.
Solve it increasing the birth rate, give incentive to have children, increase wages.
How many of these job vacancies are for minimum wage/zero hour contracts, I wonder.
There are staffing shortages across the whole of Europe
Is he so much of a stuffed shirt to think that anyone would relocate themselves for 10 quid an hour in this crazy housing rental market and global inflation?
If his members stopped exploiting workers by paying nothing more than the minimum wage, and only giving them enough hours so that the taxpayer subsidises their wages, then the problem will likely resolve itself
Problem is, most people who want to stop immigration don’t want to do what it takes to solve labour shortages, such as increasing wages and actually investing in people and automation. The UK has been suffering from low productivity for years compared to its neighbours.
Or attract people to your job? With good pay, training and opportunity’s??
Worth considering that it’s estimated that the average Slovenian household will be better off than a UK one in the next couple of years, the Polish will be better off in the next decade. They aren’t going to want to come here and some of those that have settled here plan on going back at some point.
That creates a real big problem for the anti-immigration mob. Because if they can’t handle white european immigration they’re really going to hate what happens next.
Its been obvious for years that anyone in power doesnt want to slow imigration.
Their billionaire friends cant get drunk on cheap forgein labor.
Or maybe with higher wages, subsidised upskilling and cheap transport. Thus they will have why to get jobs, how to get up the ladder of competence and higher salaries and while trading their time for transport, they should trade money as well for that sacrifice.
People tired of not being paid a living wage refuse to work, bosses want to import indentured servants.
