True??? I somehow doubt this. Surely you cannot be suggesting that “most” NHS employees cannot speak a word of English??? Maybe a few here and there don’t have quite the comand of the language that you clearly do – judging by your spelling at any rate – but to suggest that “most of them dont speek a word of english” is nothing short of ludicrous.
As I understand it, and cutting through all the Media hype … this was a sub-contract and was for construction work at the power station – nothing to do with the actual operation of the power station itself.
Also, it appears that an un-named BRITISH construction / building subcontractor initially held the contract and (typically some might think) failed to perform their contract satisfactorily. as a result of their breach of their contract terms, they were dismissed from the contract.
As a result of this, the “employer” went out to a tendering process to seek another sub-contractor that COULD fulfil the contract within the price and time quoted. ANY organisation in the whole of Eurpoe could tender (and may well have done) BUT the best tender was submitted by an Italian construction company.
Within the various EU directives (to which we have signed up) the successful Italian firm is perfectly entitled to employ their own labour force, provided that they offer the same terms as those that would have been offered to locally employed labour.
I really can’t see what the bloody trade unions are bleating about. Local labour WAS originally hired and subsequently fired. They had their chance and blew it. Now it is up to another company, with their own in-house labour force, to prove that they CAN operate this contract.
This version is particularly moving as well.
We’d like to apologise for having fewer Forums than some other sites ……………….. still less is more as they say.
Well that’s my wrist slapped huh?

Along with many, I miss “Lil Angel”. It’s always sad when a long standing members passes away and she left an indelible imprint on many people’s memories.
I share ForumHosCL’s disappointment at the behaviour recently displayed by a small minority of Forum 3 users – particularly after the Radio Quiz is over.
The fact is that everybody is welcome to join in and share in the fun and enjoyment. The rivalry between the teams is a healthy thing – provided it doesn’t get out of hand. It must be remembered that it is only a Quiz. Sometimes you win and sometimes you don’t.
The person brave enough (or stupid enough) to phone in for their team is simply calling out the TEAM’s answers. If it is a wrong answer then so be it, the TEAM loses a point and blame should not be attached to the caller-in.
For those who have some sort of personal grievance against another chatter, please don’t use JustChat’s facilities to air your bad feelings – do it elsewhere. We are not here to provide a battleground for the continuation of vendettas.
If you really feel that you can’t wait, then at least have the common decency to do it in PM and not in the rooms where the rest of the chatters can see it. Nobody else is interested in private wars, they just want to enjoy the Quiz and the ‘atmosphere’ and have a good time.
Forum 3 Quizzes are not the place for personal attacks or nasty spiteful comments and any future incidents, such as those that have happened recently, may result in chatters being booted.
