Doesn't come to me as a surprise. The easier path to settlement is the one that would come under the axe ... !!ArgieBee wrote:Professor Metcalf, chairman of the MAC, told the Home Affairs Select Committee yesterday that the responses they had received so far for their consultation had mostly suggested cutting tier 1 to protect tier 2.

Wonder if this means that extensions on Tier 1 are going to be cut BIG time, or perhaps no extensions will be allowed altogether.ArgieBee wrote:Professor Metcalf, chairman of the MAC, told the Home Affairs Select Committee yesterday that the responses they had received so far for their consultation had mostly suggested cutting tier 1 to protect tier 2.

Because on a Tier 1 the employee is free to leave the employer. But on a Tier 2, (un)friendly bond ties the two together!ukswus wrote:Video on 11.41.30
"We have consulted thousands of companies, and NOT A SINLGLE ONE suggested that Tier 1 should be protected"
I am not saying this is surprising. Just giving some additional evidence that Tier 1 is going to be hit big time.sushdmehta wrote:Because on a Tier 1 the employee is free to leave the employer. But on a Tier 2, (un)friendly bond ties the two together!ukswus wrote:Video on 11.41.30

Employers are at peace when employees, who they brought in to UK to earn a profit, do not have the choice to resign and jump to another employer. And if such a choice exists for an employee, the more difficult it is for the employee to qualify for it, the better it is for the employer.
Nothing surprising or unexpected!

Stop spreading panic without a good reason! So far they didn't even mention any caps for people already in the system.ukswus wrote:Wonder if this means that extensions on Tier 1 are going to be cut BIG time, or perhaps no extensions will be allowed altogether.
Best for all of us here is to start thinking about Plan B- ie moving to other, more friendly countries. Also, need to spread the word among our fellows from our native countries who also want to apply for Tier 1, so that they don't repeat our mistake of moving here.
Panic is non-constructive. Suggestion to have a plan B in case the worst outcome happens (which is quite likely, from all signals) is constructive. Moreover, if enough people do that, this may send a message to the government. You see, the problem with MAC consultation is that they only consulted business. Nobody listens to the immigrants.wunder wrote:Stop spreading panic without a good reason!

Spot on!mtuckersa wrote:Its very simple. The government have the answer already, ie cut immigrant numbers, but they need to find the question to fit their answer. The question is simple. Go ask companies if they need Tier 1 and at the same time indicate that their is an alternative Tier 2 which locks them to their company. Now you have the question and the answer that you want and a reason to cut immigrant numbers.
Yes but the reason why we should be worried about is how are they going to execute the plan to cut numbers.sushdmehta wrote:Spot on!mtuckersa wrote:Its very simple.
