Thread Name: BS: Brexit again
Subject: RE: BS: Brexit again
What worries me most about the migration of labour business is that when we do leave the EU (Yes, I think our politicians will do it just to save face) then any legislation that was EU wide to regulate pay and conditions will go out of the window. When we realise that there is a shortage of skilled labour we will look outside the EU to where labour laws are more lax and the result will be exploitation of poorer nations to an extent that we have not seen for a long time. Worse still, without the European commission on human rights to underline good practice in this country, we will also see exploitation of our own youngsters who will have then been deprived of the right to better employment in Europe and forced into accepting whatever pittance is being offered here. All speculative of course but a genuine concern for me.
