If the businesses never had the options of your old party's mass inflows of cheap workers, They would need to attract workers with better pay and conditions
This would include training the young to fill positions in house.

David Foley may be out of touch with reality:
People under a certain age get half the minimum wage, £3 something an hour.
Apprentices get £2.64 - or thereabouts - an hour.
Is David Foley actually aware of this? He seems awfully out of touch with the economic reality.
If you are over a certain age, you should not need to go and humiliate yourself at peanuts wages!
Get a grip Mr. Foley!

As it states it is in the retail sector which with supermarkets is 90% part-time hours (below 30 hpw) so most get working/child tax credits. They have staff on these hours and then overtime is at flat money as people don't go over the hours to get time and half etc. Even though they are on a higher hourly rate, and are they counting child benefit in their calculations as mostly women workers in retail.
