Just for you Ape Man

For those who actually like to know what is under discussion, (an apparent change of opinion by Prof Bell) here he is in 2014 and 2020.

Still no reply to my query as to whether all other EU drivers are underpaid or not?
But we know the answer to that.

Germany, Holland, France, are in the EU but those of us who talk to them are aware that they arent under the same wage pressure as the UK. If all EU countries havent been in the same situation, how can it all be the fault of the EU?

Same EU migration rules Germany and UK. They were OK, we weren`t.
Same rules from Brussels for both. Different rules from Berlin and London.

Be interesting to read what Bell says now.

Some of the answers may be in the links above?

So having read it do you believe that uncontrolled immigration has no effect on the wages of the low paid?
As for EU policy do you believe that the relaxation of transport rules across the EU has had no effect on wages or rates?
The reason that the uncontrolled immigration was seen as aproblem in the UK was because the UK government at the time (Labour) didn’t put in any restrictions at the time as other countries did which have now been lifted a relevant point but hardly relevant to this thread. Uncontrolled migration across the EU is an EU policy it is in fact one of it’s four cornerstones so yes the EU is responsible labour oversupply which in turn leads to the stagnation of wages

Should have made it clearer and said them as in the ones in your last post

Mazzer2:

Do I believe immigration has NO effect? No, I don`t.
Do I believe immigration has SOME effect? Yes, I do.

It also seems that immigration in other EU countries has not got the same effect on wages that it may have in the UK.
Something you and others seem to ignore.

What does it matter what effect immigration has on wages in a country that I don’t live in? and in the main it didn’t happen as fast or on the same scale in these other countries so that no doubt lessened the impact. In the UK it has caused the stagnation and in some cases the depression of wages the main cause of which has been uncontrolled EU immigration something pro EU people have been very keen to ignore and a pro EU PM told us was good for our economy when in reality he meant big business but not the workers.

No need.
Remember the other options are available comment?

Still, we already knew you weren’t quick on the uptake.

From the BBC link: Prof Bell:


He told the committee that social care was a “classic example” where skills were not “valued” with higher salaries.

"The Migration Advisory Committee have continuously pointed out that really the problems of social care are nothing to do with immigration systems, it is to do with the fact it is not properly funded.

“And if the system was properly funded, wages could rise in that sector. That would [lead to] more attractive jobs for people to take up and potentially you wouldn’t need immigration to be helping out in the social care sector.”

‘Wage premium’
Asked by the committee’s chair, Labour’s Yvette Cooper, what the wages should rise to, Prof Bell suggested it would have to be between £10 and £12 an hour, adding: "The basic problem with that sector is that it is very hard work [which] no one doubts that.

“It’s very stressful work a lot of the time, and if your alternative is to go and work in Aldi
 I am not sure why it is attractive.”

He said: "Some people will be very committed to social care and that’s great. But what you are trying to get is people who haven’t even thought of a career in social care to move into it.

“There needs to be a significant wage premium to reflect the difference in that job, relative to other roundabout minimum wage jobs that require a less stressful and less hard environment.”


Substitute “Social Care” with “Transport” and I think that looks familiar.



Immigrants don`t come into a country wanting to take on the worst paid, and hardest jobs.
They take the hardest, worst paid jobs, because there are vacancies.

We are told that we have the highest levels of employment for years, and that crops were rotting, and pigs being culled because of no slaughtermen. Turkeys imported for the first time in years.

There is a labour and wages problem.
Saying it is all down to immigration is probably wrong.
Saying Brexit has fixed it is probably wrong too.

The UK Holy Cow of “The Market” deciding has ended up in boom and bust, and increasing inequality, yet still it is sold as “the only way”.
Sold this story by whom? The press, that is owned by the small sector that is better off.

Really?
I`m not the most erudite, but can you really not see the point here?

Germany in EU
 No poorly paid drivers.
UK in EU
 Poorly paid drivers.
Why would UK leaving the EU make a difference?

The EU including UK, Germany and others had the same immigration rules. (In fact Germany has taken in many more refugees)
Why is it that the Uk seems to have these problems, and not everywhere under the same rules?

Ah, well.
If you can provide us all with some exact facts and figures, with a clear explanation of how all the relevant factors interact, we will be very grateful.
I expect the Sveriges Riksbank Prize Committee will be grateful too, as you`ll stop any argument over the next award.
Until we have your explanation the rest of us mere mortals are stuck with best guesses.

Think you might want to do a bit of research into whether German drivers are well paid or maybe you did and on seeing the results thought you’d post that they are well paid and then hope that no one would check average drivers salary in Germany2022

14k per year for a truck driver?
The minimum wage in Germany is about 19,452 euro per year.

Waste of time.

That is an average so some above some below having lived and worked in Germany I can tell you that driving is niot well paid which was why when living there I didn’t drive as it was easier to find better paying work, maybe when you were living there you found a well paying job and if you did well done

I think I have a vague, sort of an idea, what an average is. Also what means, modes, and medians are, more or less.
I don`t know how anyone can believe that a truck driver earns 14k when the Legal Minimum is currently 6k more?

Your site also states
salaryexplorer.com/salary-su 
 &loctype=1
The average salary in the UK is 71,000GBP. The median salary is 68,100 GBP per year, which means that half (50%) of the population are earning less than 68,100 GBP while the other half are earning more than 68,100 GBP.

There are issues.
Comparing cross border salaries is difficult, and involves more than just headline salaries, costs of housing, food, taxes and health care etc. It is complex.

But believing the average is less than the legal minimum?

Even a Classics graduate wouldnt beli
Oh! One might
but we wouldn`t let them into a position of pow
ooohhhh

Yeah whatever just the first article that came couldn’t be bothered to look any further leave all that to you

Lol Mazzer you are getting beaten and worn down with tedious links from Mr Links. This bloke could argue with himself in a stuck lift.
We all know that Brexit is a long term game
leave Mr Links and the racist cornishman to carry on crying and constantly bleating negativity, in the meantime we can be positive and look towards the future with pride and positivity.
