Papers are biased either way, I have worked with Polish, Turkish and Indian guys, in a company that constantly reduced its UK work force, those guys are just taking an opportunity, but those opportunities existed because UK workers were laid off by UK bosses.. You would see a group laid off, within days a foreign group would be sat in their seats, supporting the same role.. Then months later they would be gone.. off-shoring maybe
I remember a tech group on my floor training up a bunch from India to do their roles, they did it because they were offered other roles, but the next reorganisation , there were too many doing those roles. It was obviously going to happen..
The Indians kept to themselves so I don't know how they were able to work in the UK, they are outside of the EU..?
The Turks, the rules were being bent, a great bunch though..
The Polish were EU based, so you would get groups in from the Polish branch, if they did'nt have enough people they were hire Polish contractors...
Clever thing, the UK branch was running at a loss, while money flowed to its overseas branches from outsourced work , I remember a project manager, my team saying 1 overseas guy cost £10k/m, plus accommodation..
