LABOUR IN BRITAIN
Businesses in Britain are often owned by people, not by the government.
This is called free enterprise. Most Britons respect the idea of
competition in business and many of them believe that the
free-enterprise system encourages equal opportunities.
The British government provides welfare through subsidies, grants and
services for the population. This is called social wage; it amounts to
1316 pounds per year for each adult of the working population. Some
years ago Governmental arrangements were made in order to shorten
unemployment. A nationwide organization helping people to find jobs was
set up. It is the Manpower Services Commission. The Commission runs two
agencies: the Employment Services Agency and The Training Services
Agency. The first offers a suitable job to an unemployed person, the
second trains him/her in new skills if necessary.
Robert Smith is 46 years old. He and his wife have to work in order to
afford the house and a college education for their two children. Robert
has worked at a factory for 30 years. One day he had been replaced by
technology. What can he do to find a new job?
He can go to a job center, an employment office or to a private agency.
Robert can also read advertisements in special journals and find
information in any possible way.
At the Local Job Center Robert is registered as an unemployed and then
he is given an unemployment benefit which is sent to him by mail every
week. If his benefit is not enough to live on, Robert can get some extra
help fr om the Social Security Office. One day the Job Center informs
Robert about a possible vacancy. First he has to go for an interview
with his prospective employer. If terms are acceptable for the both the
labour contract is signed.
Working people are protected by Britain Trade Unions that concern for
work conditions and correct wages. Employers have the Chamber of
Commerce that protects their business interests.
There are about 9 million full-time industrial workers in the United
Kingdom, but their amount declines steadily. More and more Britons
decide to work for themselves as businessmen, independent craftsmen and
farmers.
