Modern slaves

Thousands of Hungarians cross the Austrian border every day to go to work. Last year, more than seventy thousand officially worked for our western neighbor, and many thousands take on illegal work there. What makes our compatriots wait in lines of cars that are several kilometers long every day, regardless of the season, because they have to get to their Austrian employer on time? In exchange for their work, they hope for a better living, a higher standard of living. Many find human words and respect, and put others in humiliating, subordinate positions, so that they can do all kinds of dirty and menial work in exchange for wages that would be considered starvation wages abroad. This was not always the case, there was a period in history when Austrians sought a living with us. The author himself has experienced the most diverse forms of work in Austria. He worked illegally on vineyards, on private construction sites and as a dishwasher in a restaurant. He protected and guarded the equipment worth millions of euros in Austria's numerous wind farms by contract. Our book is a varied read that considers many aspects. It promises nothing more than sweat and tears, an exciting account of the forced sacrifice of a talented people.
