A know of a place where a lot of my mates have worked since leaving school
in 1986 , its a local carpet firm , alot of them have worked there way up from being 16yrs old
to now & are earning a decent wage , now out of 17 of them there are only 3 left working there & this is recent , they have been getting into trouble for having mobile phones switched on during work hours , coming back 2 mins late from breaks etc , the bosses have really clamped down on them & started issuing them with warnings until they have probable cause to let one go & then instantly replace them with a polish worker , I was out friday night with one mate & he told me that 70% of the workforce is polish & that the bosses wont be happy until at least 90% are polish , This is because people i know have been there years & have earned a decent wage over the years , the Pol`s come over work for less & leave after a year only to be replaced by other pol`s ,its a never ending circle & the company must be in the wrong for letting this happen , surely there must be other company`s in your area doing the same , why do we sit back & allow this to happen , we all know its wrong but still we do nothing !!!10 June, 2007 at 10:32 am #273168So they break company rules, are warned, continue to break rules, are disciplined and sacked- hmmm
FFS, its not rocket science to keep your nose clean at work, do yer job and take yer pay.
10 June, 2007 at 11:01 am #273169your missing point you numpty totally !!!
are you related to PATS or fastcars :lol: :lol: :lol:10 June, 2007 at 11:25 am #273170It should be made law that companies pay foriegn workers the same wages as UK employees. This way employers wont be attracted to take on Polish workers (as in this case) which in turn reduces the amount of vacancies for foriegners which then would stem the flow of people entering this country in the first place.
10 June, 2007 at 11:30 am #273171still quite clear
Employers cannot dismiss someone just cos they “want to”- no matter how much they want to. Employment law is tighter than a ducks arse- it costs the (ex) employee nothing to take an employer to an employment tribunal for unfair dismissal.
Perhaps it would be informative to state how many have done this, as you so clearly state they have been unfairly dismissed
10 June, 2007 at 11:35 am #273172maybe the polish workers have more respect for their employers and dont wander around chattin on their mobys are think they can wander back from dinner break when they like just because they have worked there since leaving school.
10 June, 2007 at 11:38 am #273173After a while Slayer u will realise that Ugo’s “true” stories are mostly a figment of his own twisted imagination. Take what he says with a pinch of salt ok. Oh….. and for extra effect….. let him think he’s got you believing him. It makes him feel important…. :wink:

The point i was trying to make slayer was …… The Employer was looking for excuses to dismiss them !!!
I see the dibknob squads out in full force today lol
11 June, 2007 at 10:40 am #273175if the employer was determined to sack the english workers to replace them with foreign workers the bloody english should have woken up to it and stuck to the rules and also let the employers know they are onto their game before its too late. im sick for you in this case as it is also happening in the textile industry here in yorkshire they have translators on every shift to keep the workers in line.. but you cant blame the polish people for wanting to work under these rules can ya..???

It comes back to the same point- we all have employment law which is the dogs bo/llox if used correctly and it is impossible to legally dismiss someone for doing “nothing” wrong in terms of their employment other than redundancy (and employment law covers that too)
This doesnt mean its NOT happening however if English people (of all colours and creeds) sit back and allow themselves to be illiegally dismissed without a cost free legal fight then the employers will carry on.
However on the other foot, there was a news article yesterday (local) about the strawberry crop here, half of which is going to waste- why? because the farmers cannot get any local employees to work picking strawberries, only migrant labour and the farmers cant get enough of those to pick all the crops.
Y’see Wasp, half the time, we get what we deserve and tbh, there are some real lazy shytes out there- dont forget we are seeing here the migrant labour who have the get up and go to come over and find work- no wonder they ae taking it off the lazy bast/ards over here who cant be ar/sed to get out of their chairs
