If the girl in the Philippines was paid the same as a UK worker she wouldn't have a job.

Never said she should be paid the same as UK workers.

People really have lost the ability to read and comprehend language.

I know that for business the cheaper you can get the labor the more profit the business owner makes, also any shareholders which may be involved so I can see it from that side. I understand what you are saying though, it isn't really fair. The world is like that though.

Recently saw an article about P&O paying staff around £5 an hour on international waters, even though it's a UK company and the ferries were sometimes going to and from the UK. The minimum wage in the UK is just over £11 currently, less than half. The ceo of P&O however has a wage of 320k a year and was paid a bonus last year bring his yearly wage up to half a milli ...[text shortened]... e dealing with customers from those countries like the girl from the Philippines working for Virgin?
There is an international union for transport workers called the ITF. They have been trying to get fair wages for seafarers for over 100 years and have failed due to the complexities involved.

Now let me know when ever you want that Clan Game against me, just get your Clan Admin to set it up. I am sure my Clan leader will accept it. 😛

If someone in the UK is working for the firm in question and getting minimum wage and someone in the Philippines (or wherever) is working for the same company and serving the same customers and also gets UK minimum wage, then they are paid the same as the UK worker. Right.

How can these two people be on the same £ wages as so meet the ideal scenario which you are proposing, and NOT be being paid the same?

I don’t think you know what it is you want here.

I never said the person in the Philippines should get the UK minimum wage.

Your entire reply is based on something I didn't say. I suggest reading my post again, slowly.

So you don’t think people in all countries should the same minimum wage?

Perhaps I misunderstood you when you said they should.

Obviously people working should get paid in their own currency, however if you work for a UK company dealing with people in the UK for example like the girl working for Virgin... The minimum should be in set in the country from that company and converted to pesos.
Yes you did.
