The Spaniards were good workers and didn't cause any problems but they had to get the Turks , Moroccan and other north Africans because to the Spaniards they had to pay the same as to the native Dutch. No country has or ever had a shortage of labour what they have and always had was a shortage of cheap labour.

[@DenUitvreter]

The Turks and Moroccans had to be paid the same too, and they did the same jobs with and next to Dutch people. It was just about the numbers, and employers not wanting to innovate or pay higher wages to get enough employees.

[@Dylan-co2cl]

You know who ain't good workers,in fact absolute skivers and parasites,the ruling class, who us international working class (regardless of creed or culture) could sweep away at the drop of a hat ,if it wasn't for us allowing them to deliberately divide us and keep us at each others throats,instead of uniting, organising and changing the world for the better for all.

[@charlescalthorp5375]

The same tripe that all the multi nationals and big businesses roll out, like automaton. “The Dutch/English/Germans/French insert nation here, won’t do the work etc etc. Total rubbish. What it means is the employers don’t want to pay the workforce the right money for the job, as it impacts their bottom line and profits. So they import slave labour at a fraction of the cost. Inferring that the indigenous Europeans are lazy is not only rubbish and false, it’s insulting.

[@wulfric58]

That was really interesting. It revealed many of the problems with the attitude which is the ruing ideology today, that a worker is a worker is a worker. The politicians want to maintain growth at any cost, and dump workers from quite a different culture into the poorest parts of a European city, and accuse the locals of racism when they protest. The next lie is that the locals don't want to do the dirty jobs. The locals have always done the dirty jobs, but if the wages paid are too little to keep a family running then they will not do them. The enemy of the working people of the Netherlands is not the foreign labourers but the politicians and capitalists who recruit them. Europe 50 odd years on is heading towards a stormy decade or two as the native populations begin to see through the lies.

Most of these Turks are whiter than Spaniards but the Dutch prefer Spaniards due to closer cultural affiliation (even as there is unpleasant history of Spain ruling the Netherlands). Which goes to show that values, culture and religion tend to play a larger part than race. Not in all cases but certainly here.

[@ferdkeun5148]

Fascinating piece of history from my year of birth and the place where I work and live now, Rotterdam. Even more fascinating because what is going on on Dutch society and politics right now is for a large part a result of what was going on with migrant workers and immigrants. This process is still happening, with polish, lithuanian, bulgarian, latvian lisence plates all over the streets here especially in the traditional workers´ parts of town. The MOST fascinating is that for the left orientated part of society (labour party - greens - socialist) it is just incomprehensible (they are even arrogant about it and in denial in some cases) that it is the children and grandchildren of those turkish and some moroccan migrant workers who are now started to support Geert Wilders and joined forces with right wing Netherlands groups because their nice quiet neighbourhoods are under pressure of non-western migrants who are roaming streets and stealing in shops outside the asylumseeker centres etc. It is not only about our Dutch-ness under threat but in general a feeling of being less safe, not protected by goverment and totally unclear path of (growth?) of ILLLEGAL immigrations. ILLEGAL immigration should be avoided at any cost by enforcing the EU borders. EU borders are not enforced and we should help our South European EU fellows to stop those boats. just like we all understand why finland and baltics and poland close the border to russians right now.

[@borisnegrarosa9113]

Much of the intolerance directed at migrants comes from other foreigners and their offspring. When foreigners arrive in a new country they hope for understanding and acceptance. After a few decades they adopt a bourgeois lifestyle and forget what it was to be a migrant themselves.

According to the values ​​of the World Health Organization and the European Union, a sound level of 104 decibels is defined as a "dangerous level." However, according to the reporting made by some institutions, the applied sound varies between 80 and 120 decibels. This is approximately 10-35 decibels more than the current legal limit. The present permitted limit is 80 decibels. I live in Turkey and would like to apply for immigration to a Western nation due to my Christian faith. Is this a valid reason for me to apply for asylum? No, I am just kidding. This is everyday life here, unfortunately.
