More On Polish Worker exploitation

A week or so ago, Patrycja19 wrote an emotional posting, where, as far as I could understand, she expressed her outrage at the apparent bad working conditions for women in TESCO chain in Poland, eg. a ban on using the toilet during work, and she wanted to write a complaint about this to the Polish President Kaczynski, and appealed to other folks from her native USA, and also from UK and Australia, to join her in her endeavour.

Well, Patrycja19, I have hit upon more news for you to petition about to top government figures.

First news comes from the South of England where there's a little sewing factory in which the female employees, both Polish and English, are not allowed to have a sip of water, nor go to the toilet for long hours; they are allowed to drink liquids and use the toilet only during a short unpaid break.

The other news comes from Germany, where hundreds of Polish employees toil in 'a huge slaughterhouse ... for 3.5 euro per hour. Exclusively at night, from 18 to 6 in the morning. Seven days a week, in freezing cold.' Without proper work clothing. (This news comes from the Gazeta Wyborcza, a Jewish newspaper published in Polish by Adam Michnik. The paper usually keeps silent about abuses against Poles, and, it seems, has published this story only in order to stress the revelation that the often abusive foremen in the slaughterhouse are allegedly Polish. See Gazeta Wyborcza [online]. Tyrają w niemieckiej rzeźni [They Slave in a German Slaughterhouse] (2007-04-30) )

The third news comes from the United States. There is an icecream selling place in New York, where a Polish female employee has to work 10 hours without any coffee break. There's no chair she could sit on for even a minute; she spends 10 hours in a standing posture. The facility has no toilet; the young woman has been told by the employer she could use a public toilet a block away from the worksite. In practice, she doesn't go to the toilet when at work.

Are you outraged by these cases, Patrycja19?

Would you send out petitions to Blair, Merkel and Bush, respectively?

I have no doubt that she is already in the process Puzzler

Least they have no stress in their jobs, try working in IT.

biggest mistake ever, crap money, horrible work.

of course I am arent U?? or are you to british phobic, polonphobic and americanphobic
to join in ?? and if so prove it..


no links.. hmmm must have been taken care of.


again no links, means that this was already big news and something must have
been done.

both of these you failed to prove with links to the news article. thus your lack of
evidence makes me think you are only out to pass some sort of judgement on my
efforts, which I have put forth effort, I cant say the same for you, and I did post
my proof.. I dont really care if you like it or not. I will cont with what I am doing.

What do you do ? :P I work in IT, at the moment as a freelancer, no stress, money are ok and i like this. What more to expect?
