arbeit ist immer scheiße : blood, sweat and takeaways
12.06.2009 13:12
“Caught by Indonesian fishermen who earned £3 for a two-day voyage, gutted and filleted by women in factories working six-day weeks at 40p an hour, tuna, in the space of one hour's revelatory television, became a new object of guilt. Perhaps, pace Jamie Oliver, it is better to eat a factory chicken produced by people on a living wage, than a tin of tuna from M&S, Tesco or Sainsbury's brought to your table (or secreted in your surgical gown) by a system of economic slavery.
A sequel to Blood, Sweat and T-Shirts last year, which exposed the true price of cheap clothing, Takeaways was an even more devastating assault on Western consumerism. Its format once again entailed taking six spoilt young Brits far out of their comfort zone. It is always fun to look at the next generation and despair but this time I felt nothing but respect for the courage of five out of the six recruits. (The sixth, a self-righteous 25-year-old mesomorph called Olu, got overheated in the tuna plant, pushed a colleague he had imagined had disrespected him through a glass window and was sent home.)
Lauren, a Nigella Lawson fan who does that licking-her-finger thing Nigella does when she cooks at home, fainted within her first ten minutes on the filleting line. Manos, whose dad is a Bangladeshi restaurant owner but affects to despise Indian food, threw up twice, first in his Indonesian hostess's loo, and then on the fishing trip. Jess, a fussy eater affectionately known to her family as Paris Hilton, got uppity when she was demoted from filleting to gutting: 'I've worked my arse off for this f***ing fish' But how would any of us have coped with this crash course in reality? Probably not even as well. Youngsters, after all, are more used to sleeping on floors and throwing up than we country-house weekending sherry drinkers.”

My mate got a job in Indonesia that came with a house, and the house came with a maid. I slagged him for months, but his response was 'If I were to sack her she would end up doing a much worse job for less money'.
The Indonesian trade union movement was genocided in Indonesia in the 1960's, with support by the US and UK. We need to encourage it's regrowth while dissuading future class massacres formented by our states and corporations.
