  Sandwich factory to import workers
  
  Apparently there having recruitment problems in the uk
  Maybe it's the £6.50 PH and having to be standing in an ice cold factory on crap money.
  
  But its not all bad for the company, it made £325 million profits last year.
  
  I wonder how many small sandwich making business this monster business puts out of business ,with its uk taxpayers subsidised work force

  If it is the one I am thinking of they had over a thousand locals employed but needed a hundred or so more, hardly a case of british workers turning their nose up as many in the media implied.

  FWIW I was working at Kent Salads when the minimum wage came in (Apr 99).
  
  I had gone back to Uni as a mature student of 48 and certainly did not find working in the cold on a production line 'beneath me'!
  
  The only problem I had was explaining to my fellow workers that the increase in their pay packet was not due to the benevolence of our employer but because the bastards weren't allowed to pay us so little anymore!
