Come on, give me your opinion.....

[William R]

Sorry, back again. I see Spain mentioned. I had the rotten job of robbing good British workmen of their livelihood by equipping a factory near Barcelona with our machinery and writing out precise instructions how they could operate it. I complained to my M.D. that it was criminal to make men redundant for the work to go to Spain, his reply was that If the British people wanted to continue having cheap Spanish holidays, the expertise had to be sent to them in a reciprocal agreement. No machinery - no cheap holidays on the Costas. I then had to do a "reciprocal" thing with Japan, and South Africa and Poland. I refused on principle to do any work on the Japanese project and went to the top of the redundancy list. my whole department`s workload was transferred to Germany because German engineers were "more co-operative". Was I bitter at the Germans and Japanese?, you bet I was. When you work for a company run by a Swiss C.E. with its H.Q.in London, with factories world wide, cost is all that matters, They always get the money in, it can come from the cheapest slave labour, it matters not where, but it certainly is not Britain. They pay my pension, but I`m still bitter
and will continue to complain. Cheerio, William R.
