In what may not be music to many UK immigration-inspired people, the leader of the nation’s opposition has reportedly vowed to decrease immigration to the country, if he becomes the country’s premier post the 2015 general elections. Allegedly, Ed Miliband’s (the chief of the British Labor Party) suggestions do not appear to bring-in any important improvement.
Of late, the said Labor Party head has been under some pressure to give details about what his party would do if it emerges victorious. Miliband has been the opposition chief for 3 years even while the national media has condemned him for his inability to present any substitutes to the present Coalition administration led by David Cameron, the incumbent premier.
The Labor Party boss has even reportedly been subjected to pressure from inside his own party. A new poll discovered that 30% of the Labour councilors opine that the party would perform better in case it’s headed by some other person although a threat to Miliband’s position seems doubtful presently. Remarkably, the Labor Party head himself sees this year’s party conference as crucial in case he is to make his party victorious in 2015.
Labour won’t tolerate worker abuse
As per Miliband, a Labour administration, post 2015 would bring-in an immigration bill which, among others, would ensure safe control of the national borders, and also a clampdown on the abuse of foreign workers in the UK. He further said that Labour would keep the upper limit put on the Tier 2 (General) Skilled Worker permits arriving in the nation from outside the EU. At the present, the upper limit is put at 20,700 per annum despite the fact that the Tier 2 (Intra Company Transfer) Permits are not excluded from the said restriction.
Further, the new labor government would make it essential for the bigger British companies, which hire overseas manpower, to accept one trainee for every employee that they hire with a Tier 2 (General) Permit. Next, the party would bring-in steps to make certain that organizations do not hire the labor force, ushered-in from abroad, at rates of wages below the country’s national bare minimum salary.
Significantly, the labor chief had said earlier that the same would guarantee that it is not cheaper to make use of overseas manpower, and hence would make it more possible that British employees could be employed. Last but not the least, as per the Labor Party chief, the new government would also ensure that recruitment firms do not advertise job-openings only for the workers from abroad, ignoring the local workers in the process.
