"The contract to complete the work was awarded to the California-based engineering group Jacobs in June 2006 with a completion date of 2009.
It then subcontracted to an Italian firm, IREM, after a tender process in which five UK and two European contractors responded. It is understood that the terms of the contract specified that IREM would be using its existing permanent Italian and Portuguese workforce for the job.....
......Total has said that there will be no direct redundancies as a result of this contract being awarded to IREM.
It has also said that all IREM staff will be paid the same as the existing contractors working on the project.
It is understood that there are 100 foreign workers on the new project, with a further 300 to come. But Total says that up to 1,000 workers, employed from the local community, have already been working on the project for 18 months."

The bottom line is, that foriegn workers ARE taking British jobs, And with the recession biting very hard, have decided enough is enough.
There is probably Lorry loads of foreign workers coming through the channel tunnel, ready to take the work tomorrow. I support any striker, who supports the right to work. and this the right for every worker who holds a British passport. The worst thing, this country done, was get rid of the Trade Unions that we know of years ago, as at the moment there isn't anyone, with enough bottle to stand up to his stupid government, which has cuased the problem in the first place.
