Is any Manufacturing safe in the UK ?

O/T- David, how did your work situation pan out after Indesit left you out cold?

I have a couple of offers from other places but I really want to get into something I've always wanted to do.
I'm the only volunteer in a local Juvenile Offenders Institute and today I completed a 3 day induction so I'm now key/radio/diversity/racially/safeguarding & safety trained.
Hopefully something will come out of this but I want to volunteer myself everywhere so I can to see what options I may have.
At the moment I work in their Youth Clubs and I supervise up to 12 really bad boys.
I've heard from other Officers that they're going to look into my music skills because they spent £1000s on gear but don't know what to do with it.
I also go to College on a monday & tuesday doing Counselling & Drugs Awareness.

If this helps cut the amount of polish people looking for work in the UK I'm all for it.

Ha-Ha you must be kidding.

6months work in the Uk and they can buy a very good house outright and live for 6months without working in Poland. when there money runs out, they come back and top up.

That's what the ones I used to work with kept doing.
 
If people would stop buying the products off companies that shut down and move there production over seas then these companies would stop doing it or at least get hurt where it really would hurts them and that’s in their pocket :mad::mad::mad:
 
On one hand, I really really want to move out of ex-Britain because of all of this (plus more), and go somewhere else, like AU, New Zealand, even the country that invaded Poland seems better then here atm :(

On the plus side, I really do think Gordon Brown is getting England to be British again :)

I find Polish to be very hard working over here and if there were not so many lazy people sat at home watching there Sky TV paid for by benefits (aka me and you) then there would be no jobs for Polish people anyway. So fair play to the Polish I say.
 
they'll soon move from czech to china...

watched a documentary on something similar happening up north a few months ago, so channel 4 sent this english woman who lost her job after a lifetimes service to india and she was astonished that although the workers there were cheaper and it wasnt quite the usual sterotypical sweatshop her or her workers thought it be the indians were also worried their jobs would go to china...

its 1 big vicious cycle
 
Time to be flamebait...

What do you expect when it costs so much to make anything in the UK?
The minimum wage, although paltry for UK standards, makes manufacturing very expensive especially since the pound remains strong.

Then there is the work attitude, the "sickness record", the redundancy laws. While some are there, RIGHTLY, to protect workers, some really take the proverbial, making it very in-efficient to actually do business here.

We live in a globalised world, become competitive, or perish. This is but the beginning.
