O/T Democracy

Yes, that’s what I was leading up to.
Will Agencies be paying the higher rate ?
The Tories didn’t agree with the NMW that Blair brought in and said it would cost thousands of jobs.
NMW did stagnate and wasn’t increased year by year.

Agency's and everyone employed should receive the national living wage , although the gig sector seems to operate outside of this in many areas .

£10 or £10.50 an hour will lead to another big increase in economic migration, as such working class Brits will not benefit as much as people think as there will be a lot of competition for those jobs.

Surely you have to have a strong economy and higher GDP, if and I do say if the economy does crash after Brexit it could take quite a while to get back on track.
I wouldn’t be surprised if some companies reduced their workforce to part fund it.

Sure. Although I think the problem in the UK is poor productivity. Resolving that will take years.

Do you actually produce anything WanChai or just sit in judgment on those who do?

Now that is a subject WanChai .

The company I work for is very profitable , the man who started the company twenty years ago is a very wealthy man .... to say the least .

He pays way above the normal rates for this sector , we receive a yearly bonus based on profits , 3k a man have been paid in extremely good years , he takes the entire staff to York races every June in a private box and all you can drink and eat is paid by him , the annual xmas party is also paid on at a very decent venue .

The productivity isn't a problem where I work .

I take the point his generosity isn't available everywhere but he doesn't have to pay the extras either .

Nobody leaves either other than retirement which is how I fluked a job at the company .

Even if that kind of generosity isn't available getting treated with dignity and a good culture doesn't cost anything .

Poor productivity is due to high unskilled immigration.

The quality of management in the UK leaves much to be desired exile as I'm sure you know yourself .

Very little is spoken about this and its generally dumped at the doorstep of the lazy brit worker .
