    I do fight for the workers in my country, I’m myself in an union, take part in their work and am a rep in the current company I work in.

    I just feel like supporting employers bringing in people so they don’t have to pay as much or provide the current working conditions and whatnot is fucked up. If those workers were also unionized and got the same level as everyone else and so on, things wouldn’t be as bad, but it’s not what is happening. But even then I’m not sure why I would want to support companies pushing to bring in people to do the job I’m doing.

      “Bringing in” omg these people aren’t package, idiot. If your country weren’t fucking up theirs they would have no reason to come in the first place.

      And i dont care if you’re from the nordics or canada or whatever, you’re obviously first world.

        Companies are hiring people from abroad, often through an intermediary company that arranges for visas, flights and such. And take part of the pay from the workers and other fun stuff, if they pay the workers at all. So “bringing in” seems entirely fitting since some unscrupulous companies treat them almost as a product or cattle. Sometimes the cattle get better housing than these workers. It’s pretty messed up.

        Ok?

            I’m fighting the company attempts to worsen pay and working conditions. Don’t care what method they use to try and do that.

            Nobody likes backsliding on such things

                He would be the one working for less than others, pushing the wages down. It doesn’t take an immigrant to do that, but generally immigrants are satisfied with lower pay, less benefits, worse conditions and so on. It causes backsliding in all of the things that have been achieved so far for the workers now

                The blame isn’t on the singular person or groups but more the whole practice where companies do that shit
