The petition is entitled make it comulsary for all construction workers in the UK to attain a specified level on English lanuage ability and there are no explanatory notes.
Which is a pity, because my overriding question here (as so often) is "WHY?????"
If their employers are satisfied with how a person works and with their own ability to communicate with their employees, what's the problem? (That goes for the people employing the construction company, of course, as well as for the bosses of the construction workers.)
If you wanted doctors, or nurses, or anyone else obviously public-facing, to be subject to English tests, I might agree. But to pick a hypothetical random example, an experienced Polish construction boss who's lived here for years and is functionally bilingual could employ an entire staff of Polish workers with varied levels of English proficiency quite happily, couldn't he? And if you don't like it, you don't have to employ them. What's the problem?
P.S. "Comulsary"? "lanuage"? May I suggest you undertake a trifling revision of the language yourself?
