Why is it considered wrong to be an illegal immigrant for the sole purpose of getting an equal days work for an equal days pay for work at a company that dares to pay workers less in one country then it does in another.
Say a company has two factories.
One in china
One in the UK/USA
In the UK one they get paid £300 a week
In the chinese one the equivalent of 7 pounds a week
In the UK they have working hours laws so workers can only be expected to work 40 hours a week 9-5 with 1 1/2 hours break, sick pay, 4 weeks holiday etc
In the chinese one they are expected to work 70 hours a week.
No break other then to eat at their position.
In the UK one they would have health and safety regulations. Plus unions to look after them. Safe equipment, Anti Polution laws
etc
In china one... no safety casing, open machinery, toxic hot air, heavy polution. Anyone complaining either sacked or more like arrested for trouble making and subversion and possibly executed.
