Just a few words. Has all of you forgotten how it is back in the old europe? Do you think it is all much different?
We have not forgotten and, oh yes, it is different.
Many came here for a job they lost up north. Many came for the better money, some even for the adventure. But all of us came with a clearly conceived contract we signed.
As this region has set out pretending to join the civilised world, i.e. they want to join the WTO, they pretend to adhere to JAA rules, they regularly whinge about latent racism on their behalf if a ME company is involved (DP World) and so forth, we all strongly believed that a contract here would be what it is in the civilised world.
Now just guess why we are complaining and warning future wannabees!
Up north you can contest a broken contract in court. You can contest a arbitrary sacking in court. You have rights, even versus the likes of MOL.
Down here you are exposed to blatant dictatorship.
Even if the job is still quite good here, even if the job was not as good up north, we had rights there.
Here we don't, that's the difference.
