Let there be no doubt that the current military crisis in the Middle East could potentially take this world to the very brink of a global crisis.Solidarity With Swedish and German Workers

Sweden's first wagedumpingsite has been launched. With the german pagejobdumping.de as a rolemodel Vashal Nindal, Aleksandar Goga, Valdemar Vogel and Jeffrey Singh have started the site jobbjakt (workhunting or jobhunting). jobbjakt.se´s motto is that the person who accepts the lowest salary gets the job.
Workers register themselves free of charge on the homepage, and are then
supposed to lay bids on the avalible jobs, the lower the "better". This
tasteless auction obviously reduces salaries in general, as collective wages agreements are undermined and the workers are forced to commit treason against their comrades.
