development implication. country that country unhealthful has reliance on. migrants and their families are hoping for a quick end to the pandemic that wave a next generation will have better chances. typically migrant workers are employed in hard graft jobs gemini's meat industry for example relies on foreign labor from eastern europe every day these workers dismember thousands of carcasses in appalling conditions it's what most local people don't want to do now that the workers are fighting back. these people responded to ads in romania and came to germany to work in the meat processing industry they left their homes in search of a better life but that's not what they found. the worst

thing was the hours. i had to get up for work at 1 in the morning. then i'd have to work until 5 or 6 in the evening. change. they treat you like a slave every day you're moving tons of money to go back pain and all you learn by the end of the month is $800.00 euros that's enough to make you weep. just plain simple the 2 men gave notice after 3 months in the meat factory and began working at a different company called mohsen in cutest little in north rhine-westphalia they hoped that conditions there would be better from the 1st of april temporary workers may no longer be hired in term anees meat industry until now foreign workers were employed by subcontractors and worked for low wages but now employers and unions cannot come to a wage agreement workers representatives are ramping up pressure and calling for strikes workers are kept up to date on the negotiations thanks to news bulletins in

romanian polish and russian many of them don't speak german but had signed contracts written in german nonetheless when they realized what they'd let themselves in full it was too late like conditions and wages are terrible people come here with the wrong expectations they get here and discover that germany isn't paradise on earth these are already 3 year old gobbler to have a school wasn't expecting that but he expected to be paid a fair wage he spent 4 months working on a construction site in germany he earned $300.00 euros a month not enough to get by. i have to work that's why i came here. i need to support my family in romania but i want my son to be able to go to university but it's hard going to. desperation drove him and tens of thousands of others from eastern europe to seek work in germany they often do jobs that germans don't want to do. a 15 minute drive from the demonstration

the small town of home too many remain ians who work in the nearby meat and sausage factory. these men tell us that they've been waiting for more than 2 months to be paid they haven't been able to send money home to their families in romania. we've eaten for 10 days this pastor with sugar he's been asking for our wages we're getting no work. they just lie to us. meanwhile back at manson and get us along with the protests are taking place some workers are starting their shifts in the factory including some rumanians who've been in germany for 2 years. before i came here i worked in spain for more than 8 years my husband stayed in romania with the children. when our son finished school came with me to germany and then my husband followed.

so so. now they want to stay together here in germany the unions organizing further strikes and planning to keep up the pressure on management until a way to agreement is reached. when the pandemic struck last year millions of migrant laborers in india lost their jobs the government put the country into lockdown and sent them home. in rural india where most come from there is little work but for a few the return home has offered the possibility of a new beginning. the pandemic cost him his job in the big city it was then another 4 months before can or am garcia could return to his family in rural ranch just on there was no work for him there either but he heard of. new

training opportunities in the name by city of. a local organization was offering short courses so he took a tailoring class. for the lock down i was in sooraj doing stone cutting work with granite i'd been there since 2012 the lockdown was suddenly everything just closed prime minister modi said stay where you are and we'll take care of you but nothing happened we weren't even allowed to be on the street the police would beat us with their protest songs if we left the house while logical that. garrison discovered that working with stone made him sick he developed an lung disease called silicosis another reason to train as a tailor instead. at the step academy of. he's doing a month long course the $1000.00 repeats that surround 11 year olds accommodation and food are included the academy also trains up barbers and office courses on

and plan to stay the work in the pay of better here i don't work such long hours and i can help out at home to go to bed at. 10 to ram is happy although life in the village is hot his home can only be reached by foot he lives here with his wife. cities are ok but noisy and polluted i prefer to live in the village it's better he . can or i'm garrus see of the month the training is coming to an end he's looking to tailors in his area that might give him work he hopes to stay with his wife and children rather than going back to sarette or another big city. if i go far away again i won't be able to look after my children so i'm looking for

work near my village. and i think. a visit to one local tailor shop yields promising results the owner asks him if he can so address and can are embarrassed see it is ready to prove that he can the owner tells him to come back to his training and work for him. can or i'm doris can hardly wait to share this new ray of hope with his wife and 6 children a year off to knock down many migrant workers have lost faith in the indian government they have hardly received any support and the touted jobs in the big cities no longer exist. in the end the pandemic could actually help revive rural areas. and now we cross the pacific to south america in our global ideas series this week
