limit the number of eastern european workers taking our jobs

Additional Information

A report by Migrationwatch UK suggests there is a link between rising levels of youth unemployment and increased numbers of people coming from eastern Europe to work in the UK.

It says that in the third quarter of last year there were 600,000 more workers in the UK from eight former Soviet bloc countries than in 2004, when they joined the EU.

Over the same period, UK youth unemployment rose by almost 450,000.

This needs to be reduced enforcing some sort of penalty to agencies or employers direct for using forign workers, when there are so many prople out their looking for work and companies are using forign workers because they are cheaper. No wonder why the goverment are looking at reducing benefits where possible.
