Brexit Plus ? Higher Wage Economy

[life on mars]

I do wonder if those type of tough , manual or dirty jobs will now attract a decent wage for Abattoirs , Farming Labour , HGV , Care Workers ,Cleaner and hospitality industry workers , as we see a welcome decline on agencies exploiting European migrants workers who are willing to work for far less than a UK worker ..

If wages rise, the cost of living will rise with it.

I know of a Doctor who had a HGV licence from his Army days 20 year s ago, that has just been written too by the Department of Transport.
Highlighting the opportunity that exists right now.

I've seen the same letter.

Signed by no less than Baroness Vere of Norbiton and one or two others.

Re: Brexit Plus ? Higher Wage Economy

There's lots of emerging anecdotal evidence that what are generally considered working class jobs are seeing some rises above the norm. That's great news, as long as inflation doesn't wipe it out, or it lead to pricing them out of being competitive.

This is probably the time for decades for kids leaving education to get a job and for people looking for news jobs. No one wants supply chain problems, but there is a quite clear potential positive here for many of us and our kids.

lets hope that Agencies now disappear and companies take people on and offer them job security and value them, as in the past they have just been a commodity to pick up an use and then discard when they are done with

Re: Brexit Plus ? Higher Wage Economy

I totally get how they can exploit many people, but some people love zero hour contracts. If you have inconsistent work or are a tradesman with unreliable hours or caring responsibilities, it can work in your favour to not have any fixed work commitments, but the ability to earn when you want to.

I think having a right to a contract after a set period is a better way to go, personally.

Higher wages will just mean higher prices. For those industrys which wont be getting an increase inflation will cripple us, not to mention those on universal credit.

Especially now they are knocking 80 quid a month off it

Report on Wales today about a woman from Bettws, Bridgend , a very poor area and what it would mean to her losing 20 quid a week , it's not far off a food bill

Re: Brexit Plus ? Higher Wage Economy

It’s a joke for Brexiteers (the architects of it, not the fools who followed them) to claim it was all about raising wages. Laughable. The main reason - apart from xenophobia- was to trash the working pay and conditions and minimum standards that the EU (including UK) had in place.
