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.

The UK staff member gets to spend time with his family, the chinese one does not. Their air is poluted, they live is **** conditions with no holidays etc.




So why then is someone who employs them


PROVIDING THEY ARE TREATED EQUALLY IN TERMS OF PAY, NOT EXPOLITED AND MAYBE THEIR 'TAX DEDUCTED' IS GIVEN TO CHARITY OR HOSPITALS


NOT UNDERPAID OR MISTREATED.

IS IT CONSIDERED SUCH A CRIME?


Especailly if said worker works harder and better then UK staff?


Why she they live an awful life doing the same job as someone in a better country.



And is not the comapnies the real ones to blaim for expoliting the 3rd world for profit.?


Ie if they paid equal wages to workers abroad as they do here and saw living conditions wjhere the same or better.



Why would people want to move here for equal standard of living. Then they woudl stay in their country.


Then more jobs for locals.


Given their profit margin, most companies can afford it

ie nike trainers £1 to produce, £100 selling price

Surely the one employing the foreign worker IF (big IF) its as they are behaving decenly and equal treatment not mistreating.



If better morally then the company using cheap labout and atrocious conditions abroad

That's how the cookie crumbles... Compare countries like Spain, Poland or Australia - the cost of living is on average the same, the wages are adjusted to pay for a living. UK, Japan or Saudi Arabia have much higher cost of living expenses, so the wages are higher to compensate. At the other end of the spectrum, there's the evolving markets, developing countries and the grimy debris left over from America's imperialism. Here the same principle works: afford the worker to stay alive and work and pro-create.

Going to work and sewing a Nike trainer doesn't make you rich in any country. Nowhere! Everyone is paid a pittance wherever they live. If you make the mistake to compare apples with pears, you might find it unfair that a UK miner earns 100 times more than, say a Angolan miner. But check the cost of living index. You'll find that wherever man goes to work, the wages won't last to the end of the month.

Regarding work safety and conditions: You got a point!
