Same here. My first job in the freshly ex-communist Czechia was for Otis, an American company that entered the local Czech market for cheap labour (cheap from their perspective). I got about $1 / hour from Otis and would have violently opposed anyone trying to "protect me" from that job. The idea that they should have paid me $10 / hour instead (or whatever "fair" number in line with US wages) is laughable. Such fabulously sweet job would have been immediately snatched up by my boss' boss, or someone from their family – I'd never even hear of it.
