My fella is a civil engineer, he always has been and probably always will. He is very good at his job and takes a lot of pride in the work that he does.
The other day a group of Polish men came onto his building site and offered his boss cheap labour. They said that they will give 1/3 of whatever they earn back to him if he will employ them. Thankfully my partners boss politely told them to "go away".
There are however a few Polish groups who have begun working on his site who tell him that they are happy working for a minimal wage. Although the majority speak little or no English which must be a H&S issue, in such a dangerous environment?
I am concerned that in time there will be no requirement to pay good wages to hard working British citizens when there are so many European "monkeys" flooding into this country who will do it for peanuts. I know this is old news to some people and the issue has been raised before but what are peoples opinions on this subject? Thanks xx
