Without immigrants, the NHS would collapse.
The English working class are their own worst enemy. They refuse to organize.
Only 23.5% of the UK workforce belong to a trade union, while 46.6% are employed in a workplace where a trade union is present.
In the 70s, 55.4% of the workforce was unionized.
Union shops had the power to set wages and conditions, and the non-union workers could piggyback off them.
The USA has a lot less union labor in general.
I think the English working class do not want to get paid a pittance.
The Mexicans and the Central Americans do in the USA what the Pakistanis and Bangladesh, etc immigrant groups do in the UK.
They use immigrants from very poverty stricken nations to do the jobs that the Native English or American citizens refuse or do not like doing due to low wages and bad working conditions.
I was shocked at the low wages paid in the UK. It is much worse than I thought it was. I thought they would have a decent minimum wage standard. The reality is I find it appalling how low the wages are in the UK @ingliz.
60k plus pounds a year for the people living in Kensington and Chelsea? That is low shit for the comparable neighborhoods in NYC or Chicago or Los Angeles or San Francisco in the USA.
People do not make that much money in the United Kingdom.
This is the average in Denver, Colorado USA Ingliz (the average Denverite makes a lot more per year than the ones living in Chelsea or Kensington in London, UK)
