When transferring to Central Europe in Munich, Germany, when he was sitting in the cabin and waiting for taking off, the air service staff suddenly notified to all passengers because the airport's manpower was short, and he could not load the consignment baggage."Your luggage will arrive with the next flight. If you have to get off the plane with your luggage."
When some passengers ask questions in English with different accents, the tough tone of the empty service staff is doubtful that this is still whether it is Europe in memory."I just said that this is the problem at the airport, not our problem."
The first European trip after the crown disease, the separation of the box was just the prelude to the box.In the next few days, the Central European floods paralyzed the Austrian Federal Railway, and the customer service staff was insufficient, so that the trapped passengers suffered.A week later, he transferred to another German airport, and the extremely inefficient border inspection was long -term, which almost mistakenly returned to Singapore's plane.At the moment when you are anxious, if you do n’t see a staff member, you have to run to the old, weak and disabled passage to find the staff. I did n’t expect to only have one sentence: "Everyone is delayed. Unless you are in a wheelchair, sorry, I can’t help it, I can’t help helpYou. "
Not enough man -loaded luggage, not enough to do security check -ups, how serious is the human shortage in Europe?
Munich Airport's official website also hangs on recruitment advertisements at the end of last year.The starting salary of luggage handling workers is 2,772 euros per month (about S $ 3970), a total of 37.5 hours of working days on Friday, 1.25 times per hour, and 1.5 or even twice the public holidays on Sunday and public holidays, 30 days a year a yearThe annual leave ... This condition is not bad, but it is obviously not enough.
In recent years, reports about German labor shortage have been reported from time to time.Public transportation and other industries have faced up to 203 % of the vacancies for a long time, and it is not a new thing for college students to drive trams.
Germany is the epitome of developed European economies.Modern European workers have always enjoyed a good job and life balance, and they have more endless annual leave and four -day working day options ... are already very good, but they feel that it is not enough and the working hours continue to shrink.According to the Financial Times, the national labor population of Economic Cooperation and Development Organization (OECD) is currently 50 less working hours than in 2010.The Central Bank of Europe has estimated that employees in the euro zone have an average of nearly two hours than before 2020, and it sounds not much, but it is actually equivalent to losing 2 million full -time employees.
White -collar workers can fried boss squid by themselves, and blue -collar workers are added to large and small strikes.In March of this year, public transportation in many places in Germany also strikes, and the airport's ground staff also resisted.The two -day stop of the airport was enough to let the European aviation giant Han Sali lowered the annual operating profit margin of about half a point, so he had to obediently raise the employee.
Large -scale strikes are often in an impasse, and then they will be given one step with both the labor and management parties to end a percentage of a percentage point in a period of salary increase in a few years.Compared with the recent strikes of American Wharf workers, they demanded a salary of 60 % within six years. Most of the European unions in Europe have required more than ten percent of their salary in two or three years, which is polite.
The strike has come as scheduled as scheduled in the past years, and has repeatedly succeeded. In the final analysis, it is because the employer can only raise a white flag in the face of the reality of manpower.The structural change in the population of Western European countries means that open immigrants are almost the only way to solve the shortage of human resources. However, the significant rise of right -wing parties in the EU in recent years is given the opposite answer.
I can't help asking what the "great replacement" theory that immigrants will destroy the European lifestyle can have a place. What is the European lifestyle?If it is elegant, how many people behind it are working hard behind it.
Sometimes, if you want to maintain a certain lifestyle, you need a group of people who have different lifestyles with your lifestyle.
