P Stoff:
Believe it or not he wants to get young lads into the job. He started as a loader at nights after school and knows no different. Still loves the job. Your quizzical question sort of underlines the attitude of modern day I guess. If someone is doing good, what’s their angle?
But then the question of exactly why people are leaving remains unanswered. Most workers won’t move jobs after settling for 6 months without a significant advantage to be had (or unless they wanted to leave earlier but were somehow locked in).
You ascribe it to workers chasing more pay, but then that surely proves that the employer to whom you refer is underpaying?
