Last time I checked, the UK was still somewhat capitalistic, and also embraces technology, and advancement. Maybe those workers can be trained to install/repair the automation that will replace them, and make a higher wage to boot!

Read post #24 and it's links.
I read the links. I do business in the UK, both in London, and Ireland so I think I know the business climate. I am not embarrassed at all, but with your failed far left views are pretty telling.
Additionally, corporations merely pass on the taxes which eventually makes it to the consumers. It's a hidden tax that you and I pay, but out of the two of us, you are the one who doesn't seem to understand that.
Total gibberish. Corporate taxes don't cost jobs. That's a right wing fantasy.

Especially since our tax laws are so complex that it created an entire industry just for accountants and tax attorneys.
Also another right wing fantasy is that corporations pass their tax burden onto consumers. So, if we cut corporate taxes to 0%, they'd pass the savings onto us, or use those savings to hire more people? Lol!!!! Yeah in what world does that happen especially in light of the previous comment about liberals think jobs exist as some form of social welfare

Yeah! Why don't corporations ever pass their windfalls down to consumers?
Conservatives need to get lost with this Voodoo Economics stuff. No one believes it anymore.
That graph is disingenuous, because it doesn't account for inflation, or the fact that there are over twice as many people in the workforce now as there were in 1950
Zero-hours contracts in the EU is equivalent to part time employees in the US wanting to be paid for a minimum amount of hours per week whether they are needed or not. This would translate to higher costs to the consumers.

The difference between part time and zero hours, is that usually with part time you know how many hours of work you will get and you have better employment rights, with zero hour contracts you are only required as and when needed and are basically classed as self employed rather than being a proper employee.
Zero Hour contracts are usually used by big businesses, who are quite happy to pay executives vast amounts of money whilst having a workforce which worries about how they are going to pay their bills week to week.
