As so often, is trying to Frank Plasberg to many topics in a broadcast accommodate. This time the question of the Animal suffering including. The discussion about precarious conditions of work and accommodation of employees from Eastern Europe dominated the show “hard but fair” (ARD). Anette Dowideit, investigative journalist in the WORLD, explains the properties of the employed were in part “the right junk property”, for which people would pay high prices. To keep your distance in the accommodations and in the workplace, as well as would not always provided, and protective clothing.

The people in quarantine knew not whether they would ever be fed. Only those who had money available, have been supplied according to the Götzke with food. That you don’t have a lot of money, calculates the Journalist is impressive: After deduction of all the costs you would have left at the end of the month, about 600 to 700 Euro gross.

“Hard but fair”: The representatives of the meat industry is protected

a representative of the meat industry sits Fortunately in the broadcast to refer to these accusations, you might think as a spectator.

His testimony, the worker at Manten-meat would be paid according to the minimum wage, sees the WORLD-a journalist, skeptical. This information was far above the average in the Rest of the industry, so Dowideit. In addition, Manten specifies that reports of accommodation in mass accommodation, and not to believe the terrible sanitary conditions in these. “These are individual cases,” says Manten.
