I can't speak for the USA, but in Germany we've got so called 1€ jobs. The unemployed get not enough money for a living and they must work for e.g. church schools for child care. So a regular full payed job gets lost by this slave job. The parents have to pay for the child care, so the money is there, the church has got money, so the money is available, but the church prefers to keep those people jobless by using them as slaves. The advantage are not only the costs, the jobless person doing a full job can't go to the Employment Tribunal to sue the employer, if something (else) should be bad. The institution church in Germany does not have any sense for ethics. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
