RE: Backpacking Slavery in Australia (Banana farms)

in #working8 years ago

You most be thankful that you are in Australia in a Holiday Visa, if you don't Like it just go were you belong and work there for better money, there is not slavery, stop working take a plane and go to your place and be free.

Sort:  

There is slavery! Tell that to all the dreamers that came in Australia for a decent wage... There is many of them with high degrees, and they are still working for $650 a week in a farm after 4 years spending all their money paying extension visa in the hope of a better life. Sure they have a better life compare to Asian/Indian countries but still enslaved to a job they didn't dream for...

Why don't they leave and find another job then?

Because when you are short in money, you need to keep working...

By the way, I just disclose a fact. I'm a sparky, and do not work for farmers.

While the average wage of an australian is more than $Aud1500 a week, we can wonder why they do not want farm jobs...

BIG difference between Average and Median...most Australians would give their left nut for $1500 a week and A lot would barely take home $650-$700.

Are you australian? I know how it is in Australia... The recession started here around 2008!!!
