Politics

At the moment I work in a factory that remanufactures something. My colleges are British men of varying ages, young polish men and middle aged Portuguese men with a wealth of experience in various careers. Everyone is hard working and beyond reproach. If I owned the factory I would be delighted. The management just announced a 1.5% pay increase. Inflation is 4.5% so that is a 3% pay decrease. I alone appeared to notice this.  Low paid British workers are in a lose - draw situation. If the UK economy takes a turn for the worse we lose but if it gets better more people from the EU disaster zones turn up to get work. Result a draw. There is no win for us. And if that is not bad enough the national minimum wage for people under 21 is £4.98 whilst it is £6.19 for people over 21. So if your job can be performed by a young person you are vulnerable to being undercut.
