Polish workers to build power stations

[MPwannadecentincome]

so that is not discrimination then?

There was a story similar to this just before Christmas but it was Spanish workers who were preferred that time.

It is discrimination against the British. At least 90% of these jobs should go to British IMO.
Some of these jobs will require highly skilled workers and can provide a lifetime career for 30-40 years, but these will go to Poles while British people that could have had a career will languish on the dole or stack supermarket shelves.

That’s because Britain’s only got ‘International Marketing Management’ and ‘Golf Course Management’ and ‘Media Studies’ graduates, who aren’t really very good at building nuclear power stations.

If this was Germany or France they'd have their own engineers and builders who can do the job.

Very true.

For a very long time this country has looked at Engineers as grease monkeys rather than the innovators who add value and get things done.
Unsurprising really that this country can't produce anything these days.

A lot of the preliminary work is purely manual building work. I'm sure that we have a few builders currently looking for employment.

Have you ever done any building work?

Building is skilled work. It requires a lot of unskilled labour to carry and do odd and sods but the actual 'building' part is skilled.

That is what I said. Builders are skilled as builders, or is that not obvious !!!

Poland has no nuclear power, so why on earth they would employ Poles unless they are cheap. Better off with Romanians who are even cheaper and have Nuclear expertise

They wouldn't be cheaper; they’d be more expensive because they have ‘expertise’.
