Various reasons include the temporary labour market, which is currently dominated by agencies which are operated as tools of infiltration and political oppression. That is, agencies are used to infiltrate certain workers into private business AND to oppress political minorities of workers. That is on top of the obscenity that is an intermediary skimming 40-50% of worker wages as a result of being legislated into the position of intermediary -- much casual work which was once paid on a cash basis has dissappeared as a result. > It is repugnant to our way of thinking, but we are probably > going to need compulsory work camps set up in the future to > do something with those people.
