Real slaves work on the car wash of Norway, labor protection inspectors recognized, conducting large -scale checks with the police within two years. Inspectors got acquainted with working conditions and estimated the level of wages of employees of more than 100 car soles. “We met people who receive 19 Norwegian crowns ($ 3.17) per hour. This is slavery,” said Alf -Magne Fredricksen police officer in an interview with the local newspaper Dagens Næringsliv, writes The Local .
According to the law, at least $ 26.8 per hour should pay employees of the cleaning industry, but this requirement is not respected on any car wash, which has been checked. The chief inspector Knat Morten Alverstad warned Norwegian motorists that if three or four people are offered on a car wash at once, most likely, people are illegally exploited there.
As the police found out, many of the carwriters remain to spend the night at work. This serves as the key to understanding where "modern slavery" came to Norway. Many of the washers are illegal emigrants who have nowhere to go. According to the police, the workers, violating the law, literally break into Norway, counting on a good job. They borrow money to pay for the move, and in the end find themselves in slavery.
Previously, “modern slavery” Norwegian police called the work of builders-illegals, now they are sure that this applies to car wash. According to the inspectors, most of the money earned “slaves” are sent abroad to their families.
