Hi John


I do agree with you on the skill side but the Chinese own Linde hydraulics so you could see German built Hydraulics in Chinese trucks and Chinese built hydraulics in local markets Like Asia.

I do know that yes some people here in the UK will move from firm to firm when they are machinist even when they are service engineers. But in most cases i think it depends on the company if they treat there employees right and pay a decent wage then they will stay. If you look at a company like JCB 20 30 year service is quite normal and hole families work there so on the moving side i think it is down to the company.


I think what i'm trying to get across here is if you work in a company as a employee that is what you are a employee but if you work in a company that gives you a feeling that you are part of the company then you feel different.
