Protectionism
Story link: Protectionism
We live in an equal rights society so its only fair that workers from all countries are allowed the opportunity just like any native citizen. No worker should be excluded because of race, although the same goes for limiting the criteria for applicants.
The only criteria for a job should be skill level.
Business Secretary Lord Mandelson has said protectionism would be a “huge mistake” ahead of talks to end strikes over employing foreign workers.
Hundreds of employees across the UK have walked out in support of striking workers in Lincolnshire, who are angry at the use of foreign labour.
