Come to Närpes, Salary Herpes.

Tags: Uncategorized — Author:   @ 12:55 pm

Just reading the news headlines off the feed this morning, the sorry commie rag “Kansan Uutiset” had a revealing article of the Finnish “need for labor”. Which screams loudly, especially if you question why do we need to bring in foreign labor, even to unskilled jobs, while especially the youth unemployment is skyrocketing. Not to forget the unemployment situation among some resident foreigner groups is high – so what makes the foreign foreigner more employable than a resident foreigner? I think there is an answer to that.

Närpes is a small town in the rural Ostrobothnia, known for being a Swedish-speaking stronghold with a peculiar dialect and greenhouses. Närpes has been paraded as the posterboy for multiculturalism and all kinds of kiva that ensues.

The wicked commies however revealed, that the poor bastards working in the greenhouses hadn’t been paid proper wages, or no wages at all. Now they’ve unionized and lets see how long they will be employed. After a while the greenhouses will be complaining about a “shortage of labour” and apply for permits to bring in people from abroad. I’m seeing a trend here.

Meanwhile a brouhaha was raised regarding “cowboy building companies” from the EU. Due to “freedom of movement” the EU worker can come over to work, for an EU company, and gets “EU wages”, nevermind taxes or social contributions. If the same bloke would go ask work from a Finnish company, there wouldn’t be any work – as the EU companies get all the contracts – or actually the subcontract of a subcontract of a subcontract. Heres a bit of footage of a safety inspector visiting a multicultural worksite, the “site master” gets slightly peeved of such institutionalized racism, what do you mean – in Rome you have to apply Roman safety standards?

The perfect world continues rotating, money prints roll after the Greek financial tragedy, and Iceland has promised more ash to boost the Eurozone economy.

    “Greek financial tragedy”

    Hah… did you miss the memo we sent, like 2 years ago? The one where we warned that the super Socialism in the EU would cause this to happen?

    Oh… did we forget to send it? My bad.

    We are evil after all. We did not share the sinking Socialism memo.

    The Evil USA is not nice. Just because we win wars, and leave… does not make the USA nice.

    Actually this blog would be ok, if: 1) there was no cancer-Winter, 2) less lame libertarianism, 3) these things called blog posts, more frequently.

  • Winter (Go Protons, Cancer in remission, will soon be removed from “Dead Man Walking” video.)

    Look
    If I was in Finland, where they don’t test men for cancer… yea, I would not be posting here, as I would be dead.

    I wrote a similar piece on the issue in Australia in my blog under the guise of examining the so called “skill shortage” which is supposedly present in Australia.

    One of the commenters had the balls to say what I had been thinking all along but felt it was unwise to suggest such a cynical view.

    “there is only a shortage of skills willing to work for the price I’m willing to pay”

    yep, so its all about driving down the market price of labour and making more profits for the corporations.

    Perhaps the market itself has something to do with this in driving prices down, but at the end of the day the markets will not reach any equilibrium until external tampering ceases.

    Anyway, nice to see a post like this on the site again.

    You know I grew up near närpes and my parents are greenhouse farmers, most farmers are like us, small, family run, no employees. There are a few bigger ones though, they are the ones resorting to practices like these and most of us hate them for trying to corner the market and fuck things up for the majority of people here. I wish they’d go fuck themselves.
