Loads of low paid workers coming in from the East forcing down wages
for the indigenous population (and allowing companies to disband
their staff training schemes which would otherwise help increase the

What trainable skills do you need to pick vegetables in the fields?

How to wrap up warm, perhaps.

I was think more along the lines of people who worked in factories

It used to be that people who worked on the shop floor today, could
aspire to becoming supervisors tomorrow

not any more

All the supervisors are foreigners?
