You cant have your cake and eat it too well this is especially true when it comes to divorce rich. It is leaving the e. U. But exactly how that will work is unclear take for instance london which is home to one of europes most ethnically diverse populations through food festivals and art londoners have been enjoying a Cultural Exchange for decades and customers that christian mounted cafe come to enjoy a slice of vienna but brags it is threatening to change all of that. Could you imagine london without its rich colony arena and skinny without european delicacies like finale crescent and not a cream cake without at full strudel and sapphic cake or same free treats such as to road. And austrian pretzels. This is kid fan of viennese style coffee house and restaurant in north london with bricks at around the corner patrons hero one reads the establishment might be forced to shut down. The canucks not a toy. Not that often indulged but its lovely to see them and to have dishes like usage will it will they remind us of visits that we have made to your. Hand what we did today we are not were not only interested in english things i imagine things will close down and it will be you know itll be a smaller. Less interesting dynamic environment which recognize the coffee. Kind of all know a course of honor calls upon it the coffee house was established by christiane monic hes been living in britain for 24 years he was deeply disappointed by the brics it felt london after all is his home hes certain breaks it will make it harder to run his business and to import products from mainland europe. Until now that wasnt a problem so often products ordered from austria would get here faster than english products here in the harp but all the extra paperwork all the extra forms that are now legally filled i would cost around sport and customs delays if its that will break our costs or of course for was a. Scum of the pound has. Already fallen against the euro and its becoming increasingly difficult to highest skilled stuff from Europe Christiane Malik can hardly recognize that britain he once moved to over 20 years ago. Because we were we were able to go anywhere in europe we are world coming everywhere the arbor to grow king here in Great Britain was exciting sex an inference and maybe a move bureaucracy. But all that changed in the past 3 years. In the hard yards we discovered today. Thats why many europeans in britain are feeling distraught londons soho district for example has been a magnet for italian immigrants since the 19th century. And chemist a local italian delicatessen is already struggling with important to do with the basics like partner how many partners and we would be ok but wed like you know more pretentious products like we sell just a bit a bit just a small amount i dont think that we would be able to get them any more. The shop has many regular customers with a great appreciation for european delicacies i think we have to fight to make sure the the do stay so no other words to simulate with soap and i will come here maybe more to make sure it doesnt disappear and i dont lose that smell of the fabulous coffee. Despite breaks it being a reality now many londoners simply dont want to imagine life without the delicious foods of continental europe. Was. Made in europe its a label that consumers can feel good about employees here are paid fair wages under good working conditions or so we think well the reality is very different for textile workers in North Macedonia theyre under immense pressure to churn out garments as quickly as possible and often at the expense of their own health and safety and fact when calculated with living costs wages there are lower than in South East Asia where christina paver used to be a cog in europes fast fashion machine now shes become a voice for change. In the market dunker was once the hearts of yugoslavias textile industry. The factory belong to its 9000 employees its director and little more than the other workers it had its own Day Care Centers and workers housing the end of socialism in the early 1990 s. But the end of the market dunga. The textile industry in steep still employs some 9000. 00 workers most of them women hardly any of them earn more than the legal minimum wage in North Macedonia 200. 00 euros a month lower than in bangladesh and china measured against the cost of living. The minimum for a family of 4 is closer to 750. 00 euros a month. Christina and paver is fighting for fair pay. She worked as a seamstress for years but when she objected to the starvation wages she was fired now christine is carrying on the struggle in another form she started a network called glass and textile its or voices of the textile workers financed with donations. Just as much of the car syndicates never show i wasnt able to start a Works Council the workers didnt even know what that was or how workers representation function is that it is audition youre the only way was to set up a selfhelp organization organism that would take up the fight against the exploitation of the workers. Not only of the carman workers paid badly theyre treated badly as well. The monotonous tasks in a never changing posture just the triggers allergies factory holes left the heat in winter and overheated in summer the old paid overtime and demands to work over weekends all take their toll katherine is a member of the textile Workers Network a seamstress tells christina the conditions of the workshops. There was a problem with the care workers sitting next to me the boss yelled at her because shes only finished 3 pieces while i had done 10 and he roared make more make more all. Very worst the worst that catarina has quit her job she trained as a nurse but with no connections or paying bribes she cant find any jobs in Health Care Reform is whats called the manner in norm so shed have to find another job as a seamstress and make 200. 00 euros a month. There for going anywhere in the 10 years ive been working i havent had one free weekends or more couldnt afford a vacation for myself and my daughter she never asks for money. Doesnt wear expensive clothes any cheap things its not my god its very hot theres no desk there manufacturers the North Macedonia that pay above the minimum wage and overtime and of improved working conditions one is moda but the buyers the Big International labels look for the lowest prices. For a shirt that retails for 60 euros motor receives free that includes the cutting sawing and packaging. The governments may bear the label made in europe but that doesnt mean they are untainted by cheap labor and exploitation. But the big foreign brands are trying to introduce higher social standards here but these cost money also that the cost of. Christina and pay for the labor activist is trying to bring the various parties to the table to discuss improving working conditions the state regulators the employers and n. G. O. S from neighboring countries the situation all across the balkans is much the same exploitation and the loss of human dignity. Some of the workers in serbian factories were made to wait where diapers grown up person there was a huge scandal thats really beyond any human rights not only the activists but the international labels themselves are starting to take action against such inhumane working conditions. One of them the german man shirtmaker a limp even quit doing business with a North Macedonian supplier altogether. A limp with stoke hes only clint. Well give you that and for that we set certain requirements that i was then thats been met and the employees wages be adjusted accordingly and get over that at the end of the day i mean the supply didnt meet over because i am unscented on that and for them conforming macbeths know explains that he called the abuses to stop a limp even paid stoping more to do so but nothing changed. That may put sto be out of business and 250 employees on the street is workshops of seized production pressure from the International Corporations is growing reflecting the concern for their image.
