Good Grief C'mon !!!!
Not copied & pasted ??? And quite coherent & formulated !!! Well booger me !!! Well done you !
But again you, the same as Mancie are attempting (& failing) to put words into my mouth ! Please read my comments again carefully, at no point did I or have I said that British employers are lazy. In fact, there is, as we are constantly told a highly skilled British workforce just waiting to be gainfully employed, but this falls down due to the fact that the workplace options have been seriously curtailed over the years.
As to the rates of pay, no, unlike UK Germany doesn't have a minimum wage as such, different trades & their associated unions have agreed set wages for particular forms of work, but there is still a class of cheap unskilled labour within the German marketplace. Many companies & small businesses haven't signed up to tariff agreements & will pay their labourers/cleaners/staff below any set level, but people will accept these hardships if only to put some money in their pockets & to remain within employment as the German "welfare system" is far more draconian & severely less lavish than that within the UK.
