Two in three staff ‘to exit over Brexit’

TWO thirds of the highly skilled EU workers living in Britain say they may now quit because of Brexit.

They include key staff working in science and research, the nuclear industry, national heritage, aviation and the arts.

A survey by Prospect, the union for professionals, got more than 6,200 responses – with 85 per cent feeling less welcome.

And eight in 10 say their jobs are less secure.

Prospect’s Mark Clancy urged bosses to stump up £65 fees for permanent settlement after Brexit.

He said: “It’s depressing the large majority feel less welcome. It would be a disaster if they left.”
