You are right Issy. However those who are currently here are allowed to stay until their contract expires.So after 4 years there will be no ShriLankas, Indians, or Bagladeshis here. Nice people, polite, but sorry to say totally incompetent at any job which is beyond plain labour.
However even a polish gets about 200 CYP per month. The minimum a TC plain labourer gets at construction sites is exactly the same as that of a GC i.e 525 CYP. There is a construction site next to my house that the
building contractor is a TC. He comes everyday with his own trucks all having the name of his company in Turkish written on, and he also brings his own TC workers.
He is a Boss! Imagine how much money he must be making…
NB. My point to VP still stands. VP does not appreciate RoC’s good will gestures and takes them for granted. The TCs could be replaced by Polish at half the cost. And believe me it’s not that easy for any government to go against the capitalists. In fact it may one day be impossible for RoC to stop the capitalists from replacing the TC labourers with Polish…
