Foreign workers – it's all about EU laws

Saturday, 31st January 2009

UKIP leader Nigel Farage MEP has poured scorn on the government's attempt to solve the foreign workers crisis through negotiation.

"The government are being deliberately misleading when they say that ACAS can help in the Immingham dispute," he said.

"The government, ACAS, the unions,  thousands upon thousands of angry workers are all entirely impotent. This is European Union law and it's been confirmed by the European Court of Justice in two separate cases, Laval and Viking.

"It doesn't matter how many meetings are held, how much or how loud anyone shouts, there's nothing anyone in this country can do. We signed away our rights when we joined this prison of nations that is the EU.

"The only way we can run our economy, run our country, the way we want to is by leaving the European Union and being free and independent once again. British jobs for British workers will only happen when Britain is run by and for Britons."
