I doubt it is about criminal gangs etc. thats probably the last concern.
Its more about outsourcing, losing jobs to the eastern european countries where the labor is cheaper.
I heard that the work week in France is 32 hours. A bit too much I'd say...lol
Well what else is there... Well western Europe is aging and in a couple of years, I wonder who is going to pay for the pensions....Germany already have issues with their pension plan/and welfare(which is ridiculous...).
Unfortunately for some, fortunately for others, they have to open to the east.
