What is 'your' opinion about the Oil Refinery workers who's Plackards state, ';Put British Workers First';?

And Where In the World are you from ??What is 'your' opinion about the Oil Refinery workers who's Plackards state, ';Put British Workers First';?
Simple really, the answer is British jobs for 'British workers'. Liar Brown said it the other year, yet never stood by his droning bass tones. So, for once, Brits have got to stand up for themselves in a time when jobs are getting very hard to come by.





Up the workers, it's about time we stood up for ourselves. The French and Germans don't stand for it, and the Poles and Italians don't either, so don't play the EU card now. This is Britain, and we owned it the last time I looked anyway. Good luck to the strikers, I hope it puts the message across that we will not stand for any more jobs thefts from foreigners.

This morning I sent the following email to Total





I suggest others do the same and boycott their product until they allow British people the opportunity to apply for jobs in Britian.





British Workers for British Jobs





I have seen on the news recently the protests outside your plant in Immingham Lincolnshire.





I completely support the workers who are demanding an opportunity to be considered for employment at the site.





As the company that awarded this contract can you confirm why you agreed to and continue to support an organisation which is using racist recruitment criteria in refusing British workers the opportunity to apply for jobs?





Furthermore can you confirm what action has been taken to discipline the Italian workers who were photographed 'flipping the bird' on national TV. Is this really the image your company want to portray?





Until you as a company put pressure on your contractors to offer the opportunity to all workers of the EU (including British) to work at your sites I will be boycotting your product and will be urging my friends, family and co workers to do the same.





I look forward to your comments and assurances of fairness.





Best regards

Do we really want to become like the French and be so insular and egocentric that we become make protectionist policies or do we want free markets and low prices. If British workers are inefficient in this instance, then rather than strike why not work harder and increase efficiency and make Britain great again with efficiency and quality. Yes the British worker helped made Britain a great nation - but it was the cheap labour of the empire that made the difference!
Two words,





Greedy Unions. Even big business can only be pushed so far, until finally they push back.





Unionised workers need to realize that something is better than nothing, especially in these tough economic times. It's EU law, so the union reps better pull their heads out of their ****, and get with the program.
Having worked in these plants I would ask the Health %26amp; Safety say regarding the fact that language could be a hazard.If Brits went in great numbers then they would be under threat.If we have skilled personnel here then why not use them the end product will be sold in the UK.I have worked overseas and the British Worker is as good as any and they don't just follow orders they go out of their way to do a first class job.
British - Can you imagine the up-roar from Italy if the boot was one the other foot! British Jobs = British Workers.
they should and thank heavens someone has, and im English, British
I think it's about time Britain has ';woken up';!





I'm from Australia.





Benjamin, England owns the Enlglish part of the world!
I think they have a very valid point.





Spot on if you ask me. I'm from London and I am English.
im from the uk and i agree with them, the state of this country we cant afford to lose contracts
Difficult one, I agrees as I am british and we need to keep our jobs but on the other hand who really owns the world!
I agree with them, they have a point to make and are doing it peacefully....from UK.
So why exactly do you think that the bosses have had enough of their British workforce and got an Italian firm in to do the job? A liking for spaghetti perhaps, or a preference for workers with a sun tan? Or could it be that the over-unionised workshy British have priced themselves out of a job and could do with a couple of years on the dole to learn that work means more than just turning up.
