harvest workers are exploited, unfortunately, still, even if the course is not the rule! Here again is a negative example from the Augsburg, Allgemeine Zeitung:
They labored in the chord, harvested mushrooms and Egerling for 15 cents per kilo. But the agency workers who were flown in from Poland to a dozen mushroom growers in the area of Augsburg, had neither a work permit nor were they registered for social insurance. The illegal practices with cheap labor, which were discovered in March 2007 during an audit by customs workers, now the justice system.
had in two similar procedures before District Judge Andrea laser, two Polish nationals - a 45-year-old man and a 35-year-old woman - because of violations accountable to the Employment Act. Both were holders of temporary employment agencies and had over the years some 100 Poles as harvesters to Grow taught. The foreigners worked as a kind of false self-employed own account.
The two defendants (defender: Moritz Bode) put confessions in court, but protested that they had believed that all necessary permits are concerned by the German mushroom growers, what this would have assured them. The court sentenced the two work forces lenders to a 20 month suspended sentence. They also have to pay total of about EUR 21 000 money circulation.
