Ministers were criticised last night for issuing a record 151,635 work permits to foreigners as Britain slid into recession. ...but we already know Nulabour are not capable of helping immigrants or locals...is this news...?....

_w_ Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Amazing. Brown must know he is going to be slaughtered at some point with this policy. I wonder what makes it worth his while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpg50000 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I have first hand knowledge that at least two of the largest I.T. outsourcing companies in the world are still getting permits granted and renewed for Indian workers to come over here. These workers don't have any in-demand skills that we can't fill over here. Rather they are coming over here to learn the job (and being paid a pittance) before taking the knowledge back to India along with the support of the outsourced accounts they worked on. Of course, with the speed at which big companies work, and the reassurances outsourcing clients need to be in place before sending their data to India, this can be a protracted process. The outsourcing companies have, however, promised the work at lower prices which can only be achieved by either off-shoring, or using cheap Indian labour over here for a time. Hence, many Indian workers over here on long visas, doing work for which they have no special in-demand skills (in fact, for which they have no skills when they first come over). Work that could easily be done by a UK citizen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnlyMe Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 In 2002 the govt introduced the skilled migrant programme I believe. It didn't take long for potential UK recruits to the sector to work out what the effect would be on job prospects. Here's the result.
