Trends

A continuation thread.

In the past couple of threads I mentioned migrant workers and outsourcing. Here is what I think about it.

In that in the past 10-15 years perhaps longer, the middle class white collar office workers generally had the I'm alright Jack mentality regarding work, in that they were ok so others must be ok. Bah you manufacturing low skilled work scum! Who cares about you? In that I'm alright and all that migrant labour and outsourcing means that things are cheaper for me.

So at the cafe I have a Polish bloke or woman serving me, but it keeps prices down right? Or at a factory for a supermarket they are stuffed full of migrants who work for less than minimum wage as the truck acts don't seem to apply to them. (This is where being paid in kind say vouchers for use at a factory shop is illegal). Hey it is A OK if I can buy cheap clothing at supermarkets and cheap clothing.

Those at the bottom who cares? damn them damn them all they should have got an education! As long as it ends up in cheaper goods for me that is all that matters.

But what if the working class complain about migrant workers?

I know lets call them racists and BNP supporters to stiffle debate and descent in our work places.


That was the mentality and it still is...

Except they forgot one thing in that it was the start of a slippery slope, in that migrant workers and outsourcing and insourcing (bringing people here to do jobs much like the fuel refinery issue in 2009 so we can pay them less). It spread far and wide.

Now bosses seeking to lower costs are starting to attack the middle class white collar jobs, it happened at my old firm the staff were one by one replaced by outsourcing and then the staff at the office were replaced by Poles.

As with the prior post I do not blame the Polish people individually, but the complete selfish nature of society in general which has come back to bite us on the ass. So I hope you enjoyed all of those cheap coffees cheap clothing and cheap food as the cost saving methods are moving into other areas.

They came for the jobs of the working class and now they come for the jobs of the middle class, it is no use stomping your feet as it has begun and it is an unstoppable juggernaut.

Intern exploitation gets more media attn

British companies don't want British workers

So much for Gordon' s promise of British jobs for British workers here

Really? (daily wail alert)

Or here?

I don't blame the Polish for seeking out work; seeking out opportunities to work is commendable. I don't blame the Indian people for dismantling the UK IT industry either. I blame Tony Blair and Gordon Brown for destroying the country. To actively encourage job destruction through unfair competition is treasonous. They are meant to make decisions that help the British people and Great Britain. My conscience is clear. I never voted for these vacuous c*nts and never will. The country is now infested with illegal immigrants and limp-wristed liberal types. I got fed up with hearing about globalisation and how inevitable it all is.

Britain just allowed the flood of Polish people even though it didn't have to. It was a spiteful and calculated move to drive down wages. I don't mind the Polish. They all seem fairly decent but that doesn't mean it's right to alienate the British unemployed. What annoys me is that in a relatively short period of time the country has lost its identity. Why would I want to endure illegal immigrant ex-soldiers from Somalia and the like? Why is everyone shocked when all the lawless immigrants kill and rape us? It's racist to dispute these issues because we have become useless pussies. We cannot even say we hate a religion in our own country! Why the hell did my grandfathers bother fighting in WW1 and 2? What a waste of time. It's ironic to remember that Hitler had a lot of respect for Britain. Gordon Brown and Tony Blair don't even have that respect.

The war against wages

Here

Similar things happened here, unions what unions? Such things only exist for the public sector.

The article states employees who don't stay long a similar thing has happened in the UK whereby people are never full time employees. My old place did something similar you were employed on a contract for 11 months. Once this was up you were told to go home and were rehired at the same pay as your prior job, but since you are now a NEW employee you can be fired for any reason at all, since you NEVER hit the 12 month period you in effect have NO rights. Logically if you never hit one year you never hit 2 years and therefore you are NEVER entitled to redundancy!.

Question is what to do about this?

With minimum wage a joke exploited by unpaid overtime, no unions and no job security why do people stand for this?
