UK government with legislative power to impose regulations on a sector that improve pay and conditions shocked that sector will not voluntarily improve pay and conditions
Labour shortages need a balance of state measures to open up affordable training, foster pay rises and improve conditions as well as active migrant recruitment policy that competes with other states for a limited pool of skilled workers or workers willing to go through training.
If the UK's attempts to get EU workers falter because EU states face labour shortages in the same sectors, then the UK government is going to have to come to terms with the fact that it will have to compete with the EU for skilled workers from non-EU states like Turkey or Algeria
This ought to be evidence for Labour's case that in terms of domestic workers and managing migration greater state intervention and flexibility is needed.
Yet in party conference week Labour is more preoccupied with internal wrangling than making its case to the public
