Austria -Debate on seasonal workers from 3rd countries -February 13, 2013
The president of the Chamber of Labour (AK) in Salzburg refuses to take on more chefs and waiters from Non-EU countries. He criticized the fact that qualified workers from EU-countries in Eastern Europe such as Hungary were now substituted by cheap labour from outside the EU. The gastronomy and hotel industry are warning that, without the help of 3rd country workers, tourism would economically not be possible any more.
