    Modern Slavery in Norway.

    It's about the merciless exploitation of East European migrant workers who get lured into Norway with the promise of high pay and lodging, but end up getting paid a miniscule fraction of what a norwegian worker earns for the same job and have to pay several times higher prices to rent shitty apartments and share rooms with several other migrant workers.

    It's horrific and completely overlooked in Scandinavian society.

      Yeah, I've been reading about these cases for years now, especially the bigger trade unions are trying to do exposés a lot on it.

      Seems like a new case every month or so. Petty bourgeois mfs exploiting migrant workers from Africa, Eastern Europe and SEA, and putting them through what can only be described as physical and psychological torture. Workers living in rusted out boat hulls, people having to squat in the back of restaurants with ten other workers, passports being stolen, wages being withheld. It's wild how this shit can fly under the radar for so long.
