Well, you must have heard what is going on in this country. Promise of billions of jobs. Jobs like\u00a0waiters, belly-dancing and carrying bags<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Recently, OTAM (Outsourcing and Telecommunications Association of Mauritius<\/em>) wants the government to removed restrictions for importing IT workers\u00a0from abroad [1<\/a>]. OTAM says the Mauritian Textile industry is a “success”. It’s a joke right?<\/p>\n

“Take, for example, the textile sector. If we were to rely solely on Mauritians, the industry would not have encountered such developments and rapid growth.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For instance, if a company A<\/em> employs 100 people with a Rs 30,000 salary per month and makes Rs 5,000,000 as profit is OK. But if\u00a0company B<\/em> employs just 10 people with Rs 2,500\u00a0salary and makes a profit of Rs 100,000,000 over their heads, the government and the “petit-copains” would be happy.<\/p>\n

“En fait, explique-t-il, les Mauriciens sont moins enclins \u00e0 travailler jusqu\u2019\u00e0 des heures tardives”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Logan, a Mauritian blogger, writes a fictional news report which might happen in 2020 in Mauritius [3<\/a>]<\/p>\n

“That (the promised 665 dollars) is big money in Bangladesh and I was prepared to make any sacrifice for it,\u201d Amin told slashslash who visited him at Ebene, in northern Mauritius, where he lives in a container provided by his employer, SmartCities Inc.<\/p>\n

But, today, the Bangladeshi worker earns little more than a quarter of that amount. \u201cI have been cheated,\u201d he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

40 hours per week is already too much. They want people to do overtime and get paid peanuts just to be able to stay alive. Even if it is in a vegetative state. Winter is coming. Slavery is coming. Slavery is already here!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
