Sorry Chess,
What I was trying to highlight was that the requirement for good english in the Construction industry, even for unskilled labour, is not just intended as another barrier for foriegners gaining employment.
There are serious safety issues, and indeed deaths and serious injuries have already occured on sites, that mean good clear communication on site is very necessary.
Of course good english is will, in more general terms, improve ones employment prospects. In construction it may save ones life.
Apologies for not being clearer before.
