Foreign worker

This issue has been interrupting us for many many years, most of the employers’ complaint that they don’t have enough workers, affecting the output and profit, or about the salary. Some bring out the figure that we should not recruit foreign worker anymore or we should reduce the number of foreign worker. Did anyone study this issue and produce a brief report why the employer do said they must have foreign worker and why the politician said they have too many foreign workers and why the residence said they saw foreign workers on the street especially during holiday. Why most of the employers wanted to have foreign worker, let’s go back to before, when we don’t have workers to work for the plant or plantation, most of the Chinese went oversea to earn a higher income instead of working locally during the recession period. So they taste it and they like it, so most of them didn’t come back and stay there for years and years. some of them may have come back and went back to oversea again as illegal worker, because they are no more suitable to the local wages, they think they should earn more than others, they wanted to be paid as what they earn at oversea even thought they are working 12hours daily and they have to hide themselves as most of the country doesn’t allow illegal worker. When they have some money in their pocket they behave like a millionaire, like a professional, they talk about their income from oversea; they stand high in the air. They have forgotten who they are? Their qualification and their work experiences are not up to the requirement, they can earn so much is just because no one like to do that type of work at this country, just the same thing that our local workers refuse to work and we need foreigners.
Some of the local employees like to choose easy and relaxing work, not like the foreigner, they choose which one can earn more money. Foreigners like overtime work, but our local wanted to go home on time and more holidays. Some of the worker does like to take off without informing or applying leave, they are not because of sick or family problem but just wanted to visit his friend, or his friend birthday. Local employees do like to start work late without proper reason, raining, motorbike breakdown, weak up late, no water, and so many more unacceptable reasons. our local worker to give low productivity and like to form union asking for more and more without caring the situation of the employer.
One day, if you are the employer, do you like this type of people to work for you, especially for those in the union; can they manage a business with this type of workers and condition? Look at those companies like to say this system, documentations in all fields, benefit and allowances; can they survive, and how long can they survive, what is the financial situation of them, are they good? Look at some of the huge & giant company, how they manage? Loosing money all the time and then asking for price increasing to cover all loses or? To me the proper way to earn more profit is to create more business opportunity and more sales, increase efficiency and productivity, not just asking to increase price or discount on the debts. Are they monitoring about the manufacturing cost and processes or not? What is the productivity of the company? So many things they need to consider? This is what are our local workers given to the employer and this is why we don’t like local worker.
