Cronky Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Small footnote in the business section of the Examiner yesterday: 'a sharp rise in the number of permits issued under the Overseas Labour Scheme (OLS) which allows people from outside Europe to live and work in the Island' Are these people from countries where Manx residents have reciprocal work arrangements? Is this a scheme to allow specialist workers (e.g. nurses) in? Who set this scheme up in the Isle of Man, the UK or the EU? Anyone know more about this?

joeyconcrete Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 From http://www.gov.im/cso/immigration/rules.xml Foreign nationals who wish to come to the Isle of Man to work, require a work permit issued under the Overseas Labour Scheme and where necessary a visa, in order to so. Work permits are issued for a specific job with a specific employer and normally only to people with high level qualifications or occupational skills and with substantial post qualification experience. The employer is required to show that there is no one available to do the job on offer in the Isle of Man, United Kingdom or European Economic Area.

I think its a fast track scheme for key workers (you know bar staff, cleaners, those in the catering and hotel industries). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snaipyr Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 I believe there's less opportunities for the older school students to get part-time work as a result of importation of labour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojomonkey Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 I was on a EuroManx flight a couple of weeks ago and the air hostess was eastern european.

And ive just seen my mates wife (manx) speaks very good English, very polite, not a bad looker, has a house to pay for but is now out of work as a flight attendant due to cheaper labour from eastern europe, whats wrong with that just before Christmas.

thesultanofsheight Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 I believe there's less opportunities for the older school students to get part-time work as a result of importation of labour. I believe its becoming a big problem with the student population in the UK. Student loans are going up every year, but they can't get the part time work they used to because of illegal immigrants and others who work cheaper, so the UK government puts them in a shit load of debt and because of their lack of immigration policy gives them little opportunity to pay it off. Makes you wonder whose benefit the system operates for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there's one rate of pay for Manx workers and another for foreign workers? I don't beleive you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dare say that maybe the eastern european hostess has a house to pay for also, be it mortgage or rent. And maybe, just maybe, the eastern european hostess is better at her job than your mates wife (manx) !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
