Invisible workers: Underpaid, exploited and put at risk on Europe’s farms
Euronews
They toil away for hours on end, under blazing sunshine or drenching rain, to cultivate and harvest the fruits and vegetables we so easily take for granted.
As the coronavirus pandemic swept across Europe, those helping to bring food to our plates suddenly became visible, even hailed as "essential workers". But for the past six decades, the European Union's farming policy has overlooked their labour rights and living conditions.
The EU’s common agricultural policy – which accounts for over a third of the bloc's budget – aims to support farm owners and pumps nearly €60 billion into the sector each year. The working conditions of those employed by these farms, however, are not even mentioned in the subsidies scheme.
"At the moment we have this crazy situation where we actually have better protection for animals than for some of these workers on our farms," said German Green MEP Daniel Freund. (...)

Last year I had compiled some statistics here on pluspora to illustrate that Germany has two sets of problems, from different societal, economical and whatnot structures in the eastern and western parts. Unsurprisingly, a year after, these persist. (And I can't find my old posting, search is abysmally bad.) Here's the rerun, done by the UK's Guardian: 'Germany looks like it's still divided': stark gaps persist 30 years after reunification. Sobering studies for October anniversary show many in east feel like second-class citizens (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/sep/16/germany-east-west-gaps-persist-30-years-reunification) #germany #society #statisticspluspora.com

"The Flying Train" depicts a ride on a suspended railway in Germany in 1902. The footage is almost as impressive as the feat of engineering it captures. For many years our curators believed our Mutoscope rolls were slightly shrunken 70mm film, but they were actually shot on Biograph’s proprietary 68mm stock. Formats like Biograph’s 68mm and Fox’s 70mm Grandeur are of particular interest to researchers visiting the Film Study Center because the large image area affords stunning visual clarity and quality, especially compared to the more standard 35mm or 16mm stocks.#Germany #monorail #Wuppertal
