    There’s debate by some of parts of our biggest party in Germany to allow farmers to pay less than minimum wage to hired hands … in Germany. So I see no way this is happening outside the EU.

      Why would you take that job? That’s hard work for less than minimum wage? Is the job market that bad?

        Desperate immigrants, impoverished eastern Europeans, or Roma. I see it a lot where I live. They get paid minimum wage for backbreaking labor during harvest season, and they live in a poorer country the rest of the year.
