    Angry Reason for Low Wages

    I've just had to take a £1 ph pay cut. I can thank our Polish friends for this. I've been working for an agency for the last year, The last 4 months i've been quite happily working night shifts for £7-50 ph. Not great money i know but as the wife is the main wage earner it pays for the extra's we have. Anyway i have'nt heard from the agency for over 3 weeks but through the grapevine i know the company i last worked for are still employing agency staff, So i called in there today to find out whats going on and was basically told, They're not going to pay me £7-50 per hour anymore because the Polish work for £6ph. After a bit of negotiating they've agreed to pay me £6-50ph and i start back at the last place i worked tonight at 10pm. It might be good for our economy having Polish workers over here but it sure aint good for mine.
    Trying is the 1st step towards failure

    The Labour party could not control wages by standing up to their paymasters the unions so controlled wages by allowing uncontrolled Eastern Bloc immigration. The worst is yet to come many companies are already training Eastern Europeans in the UK whilst developing facilities in Eastern European countries to outsource our jobs they are using intermediate companies like Tesco's use Stobbarts around the UK!

    How can you expect any sympathy for a 0.5% pay cut!

    Half of England were furious about Robert Green's fumble...The other half were furious that Poland didn't get through.
