HAVE YOUR SAY

SHOULD BRITISH JOBS GO TO BRITISH WORKERS?

Tuesday May 27,2008

GORDON Brown has been accused of relying on an influx of migrant workers to fill British jobs.

The Tories claim the Prime Minister as used the policy as an "easy" alternative to proper welfare reform that would get many unemployed Britons back to work.

Mr Brown last year promised "British jobs for British workers." But his controversial pledge has proved to be hollow rhetoric after latest figures showed nearly nine in every 10 jobs created under Labour have gone to foreign workers.

Mr Grayling will point to London as an example where growth and prosperity should have ensured jobs for all but where there remain "serious pockets of unemployment and welfare dependency."

So do you think British workers should be guaranteed British jobs? Should they get priority? Has Gordon Brown let the people of this country down?

JOBS ON MERIT, NOT ON RACE.

23.06.08, 10:05pm

I think the easiest way to answer this question is give the jobs to people based on academic skills and merit according to the job applied for and not just on race relations to comply with govenment targets.
Though i have an ethnic background i wouldn't expect to get a job over the next person just because of my colour, i would epect to get the job because of my academic skills.

RUSSIA HAS THE RIGHT IDEA

Russians Jobs for Russian workers

It seems that if the job slow down continues there will be real problems for immigrant workers are preferred by many recruiters over indigenous people. uemployment will soar...

as an indigenous man I am unable to find even a toilet cleaning job

Its possible that most indigenous people who are uemployed would find a job and the unemployment would be near zero if there were no immigrants being fast tracked into jobs
