The following point which I am about to make for workers should be used by politicians at all levels. It is the story one hears in every county, "We lost our factory because it has gone to eastern Europe." Let us spell out why. It is gone to eastern Europe because costs are lower. Costs are lower in eastern Europe because it has no health and safety legislation, worker protection, no minimum wage or support. While those countries remain outside the European Union, costs will remain cheaper and there will always be a problem. The only way to deal with that is to ensure the workers in those countries are brought into the broader European fold which benefits everybody. It improves their conditions and standards of living, protection, health and safety and their take home pay. It also broadens the European market and levels the playing pitch with everybody working from the same cost base. That is the reality. That factories move to eastern Europe is a reason for voting "Yes" despite the arguments put that we should vote "No" as a way of getting at those who take our jobs. It shows a lack of analytical thinking in terms of where we are going and a lack of concern for the future.
