I never said they were still on double time, i said they get 1.5x from the start and that double pay is outdated and by discretion of corporations. I didn't say everyone should get paid the same but premiums relative to their base pay should be the same, but you obviously cant comprehend basic maths given past responses.
You say i sound like the guy who believes everything the government say but i worked first hand for that company and know for a fact why they reduced pay. It was due to complaints that some people had much larger premiums despite being in the same position working the same hours with the same base pay. The graph i posted earlier contradicts all your claims of higher pay in the 90s as it is normalised to include cost of living.
Now you just sound like the guy who wants to play the victim and feels hard done by because the harder working are getting prioritised over the lazy.
Chuck away your tinfoil hat and move on, don't expect people to privileged you for being British as it counts for naught in a society where the hard working opportunists thrive.
Foreign investment from companies that use the UK as a gateway to EU trading as well as UK companies that rely on small sales eu trade rely on our current eu relationship and generate plenty of jobs. I am not scared of having the next bloke off a boat taking my job because i know it wont happen. Your proof of pay being cut due to immigration is a cut in holiday premiums? lol give me a break, you telling me maybe immigrants only work Sundays?

Clearly someone who thinks VAT is charged on wages has little to no credibility when to talking finance. Go wiki VAT and come back embarrassed trying to tell me that you meant it in some other indirect way which has a significantly low impact on wages.
I never said there was vat on wages, how did you make that jump. Just i said look at vat it was part of the agreement for us to join the common market, UK used to have purchase tax at 10% vat ended up hitting items that were never taxed.
On the second note look at the loss of overtime rate you posted from double to nothing by 2005 I wonder why was that....
Double pay outdated but 1.5 pay is an update yer for the company not the worker, then it introduced lower and lower rates till zero.
Now you think it's about competition yes competition for lower wages and worse Customer service.
Look at this country it's falling apart everyone is trying to cut corners people/ workers in this country used to feel proud about there workmanship now they don't give a toss, it's about hire the cheapest worker, and accept poor quality. I've stood my ground on this I will not pay or be blackmailed to accepting poor quality, even when they said I was difficult etc.. Everything does not last anymore.
Britain is the laughing stock of EU, we have zero say, we don't have any EU institutions in our soil, and never will, we. Stick to the rules while other countries don't. When Germany said all borders should be opened then a month later they closed there's which is against EU rules but tell Greece off when they do the same and threatened them with sanctions etc.. Just shows the the UK has no voice and is just following Germany.
A one tire system based on German's economy has destroyed southern states economy.
UK used to be one of the best engineering counties building nuclear power stations we lost that because of the Eu.
