Indian tycoon calls the British lazy and refuses to build a factory in the UK!
Some time ago, Neerajkanwar, the CEO of Indian tyre producer Apollo, questioned the work ethics of British workers, causing a riot. He said he did not plan to build a factory in the UK because British workers "rarely work and only go to pubs". Labour market experts have criticized it, calling it "serious racial stereotypes."
Apollo Tyres has seven factories around the world, but it does not have a single plant in the UK. Canwall puts the blame on the welfare system, which he says has led to a lack of enthusiasm among British workers, and that the welfare system has ensured that people don't need more work.
The British lack motivation," he said. Hungary has a great incentive for us, with lower labor costs and production costs. You know what the British labour force looks like. They rarely work and only soak in bars.
Canwall calls it flirting, but adds: "I think the biggest problem is that the British social welfare system allows people to get a pension without having to work. ”
However, labor market expert John Philpott challenges this. He thinks that Canwal's view is too one-sided, ignoring the enormous pressure that many British workers are under. If the UK employer says so, it will definitely be blamed.
They argue that workers will become more critical as their incomes rise and their education levels improve, but there is no evidence that British workers refuse to work because of welfare concerns. Conversely, many well-educated young people in the UK end up in low-skilled, precarious jobs that are not what they have chosen.
According to the UK**, the debate has raised concerns about the UK's current social policies and labour market, as well as the question of how to provide more jobs for employees and increase productivity.
