If people don't want to do a job, it is because it is not suitably remunerated.
Using illegal labour instead should not be defended. It undercuts the position of the legal workers.
- patrickaljord 10y agoPaying people more for these jobs would make the end product way more expensive and make it hard to compete on the global market and make your country not competitive (what's happening here in France). Another side effect is that because the price of the end product gets more expensive, people will have to work more in order to buy said products or just avoid buying them.
- SixSigma 10y agoThe EU restricts agricultural imports, fixes prices and pays out massive subsidy for non-production via the CAP. Perhaps market manipulation by the EU should be reassessed if the consequence is widespread and necessary use of illegal labour by some of the richest farmers in Europe. http://www.europarl.europa.eu/atyourservice/en/displayFtu.html?ftuId=FTU_5.2.1.html http://www.europarl.europa.eu/atyourservice/en/displayFtu.ht... Objectives Article 39 TFEU sets out the specific objectives of the CAP: 1 to increase agricultural productivity by promoting technical progress and ensuring the optimum use of the factors of production, in particular labour; 2 to ensure a fair standard of living for farmers; 3 to stabilise markets; 4 to ensure the availability of supplies; 5 to ensure reasonable prices for consumers.
- patrickaljord 10y agoI totally agree that we should get rid of the CAP. Not going to argue on this one.
