@ Skybird, I'd rather get one Euro an hour then none at all. Well in my case it would be one dollar an hour but its still better then nothing. I worked for a day just to help out my father a his job and I made 90 bucks out of it, it was loud,dirty and backbreaking then again what job in construction isn't?

As for your comparing getting one Euro per hour to slavery doesn't make much sence. I would agree that such a thing is exploitation but the worker is being paid, where as in slavery the worker doesn't get paid, they might but chances of that are slim to none.

Edit: are there even jobs in Europe that have such a low wage? Just wondering.
