"Don't increase minimum wage and allow non-EU citizens work in restaurants"

[Gerry Canning]

Purple,

I do not disagree with you.
My comments are ;
In most cases Employers have a tough time because a culture of entitlement and over regulation has stymied too many of them .

,
"I think we need to move on from Dickens,socialism,communism etc.Too many discussions revolve around (brother) worker or the Big Bad employer , seems we are stuck in arcane and lazy language.
"Employer Class also went out with the large factory assembly type work , and I think we are the better for it.
"Don,t like the term (working Class) for any one ,
" We all are workers in the hive of society.
" I like the idea of equality of opportunity , if we could reboot society we could do it !
"Equality of outcome is not (socialism) its stupidity latched onto by those pretend socialists.
" I hate what I see as an entitlement culture , I have no issue helping the cradle people or the ancient ones, but damn it the rest of us MUST paddle our own canoe!

I have the notion we are on the one Hymn sheet , just different notes !

My view :

• 
  
• Restaurants too are reluctant to employ older workers- ageism ? bad for image?

The irony of that is the fact most restaurants outside Ireland have an older workforce, where they have made a career out of waiting on tables and so-forth.

Again, a bit of a Dublin centric view. Down in culchie land where I live, many of the pub/restaurants and hotels have older staff working for them, many on part time hours that suit them. For the most part, these would be the type of places that have a very strong local trade and are long and well established businesses
