Now why didn't we think of that, forum-genius. Duh! :roll:

And it's not racism to pay migrants less money - it's opportunism. Wrong; but it's a two-way transaction. And the whole EU is riddled with this cheap resource but Greece has a glut of migrants from bordering happy-go-lucky muck-spreader Turkey

Personally, I don't see any reason why anyone should go on a tirade to defend Greece over this incident. Especially, when the defense is just a trivial comparison of one incident with another one in the U.K.

Greece needs not your petty defense.

I hope that the severest of punishments befalls these 'foremen' and I hope the migrant workers find justice in a system geared against them.

Hmm. Personally, I hope the law is fair and just to one and all.

So where is your fairness towards the immigrant workers?

FACT: They are owed money by their employer, demanded to be paid and were fired upon by their foremen.

FACT: The Greek Authorities have arrested the foremen and will face justice.

Yes Greece can do without you petty Defence. I am certain Greece will be fair to one and all which is why they are bringing the culprits to justice where they will be dealt with accordingly!
