Many Chinese who come to Australia, especially foreign students, will work outside to earn their living expenses.
But because students sign that all students should not work more than 40 hours within two weeks, many students choose the so-called "black worker."
These "black workers" send salary in cash and have no record of working hours, so many people take risks.
Surprise investigation of illegal workers in Australia
The Australian Immigration Service actually knows the situation of "black workers", but usually turns a blind eye to it.
Recently, I don't know what kind of cramp immigration has taken, and another massive crackdown on triads and illegal workers has begun, this time with federal police working with border protection forces to carry out the strictest inspections in four states in Australia.
This time, both Victoria and New States are on the list of key checks, with insiders carrying out the plan saying they will crack down on illegal farm workers and illegal brothel.
Farm black workers have always been a favorite job for Chinese with working holiday visas, so Australian authorities say more than a dozen people, including several, have been arrested at the beginning of the review.
I wonder if you remember the latest news: Chinese aunt made headlines in the Australian media again! Organized in the streets of Australia, was exposed to speak Dongguan, in the evening organized groups to take the tram home.
Sources pointed out that the group of Asian mothers active in Melbourne CBD begging team, was also investigated by the police.
In Perth, Western Australia, two Chinese women were Arrest for illegal sexual work, one of which was revoked and both were detained in the illegal immigration centre for repatriation.
In addition, a large number of illegal workers working on farms are facing censorship.
Every year, Australia carries out a large-scale crackdown on illegal workers, in part to reduce the number of triads in the country, and partly to prevent employers from using their identity to exploit them.
During this inspection, many famous Chinese areas in Xinzhou and Victoria were searched, among which the construction sites of Auburn and Burwood in the Chinese district were all copied! Immigration and Australian police even randomly check visas on train!
Who's right and who's wrong?
There is a question on Zhihu. Who is right and who is wrong when Chinese shops in Australia look for Chinese students to work in black work?
Aside from law regulations, many netizens feel that this is a vicious circle.
Chinese bosses are notoriously low in salary, and few Chinese can reach Australia's legal minimum salary, but are also taking the risk of hiring illegal workers.
And Chinese students are also notoriously unstable and do not work hard. There seems to be no excuse for arguing about higher salary.
In the long run, the negative impression of each other has been completely solidified.
Anyone who has worked as a boss in Australia knows that hiring Chinese students is basically the workload of three people and has to have a list of 10 people in his hand, because there are too many people who don't come from a phone call temporarily.
Because there is no legal guarantee, international students can not come to work for any reason, entirely in the mood. Parties, trips, staying up late, exams are all reasons not to go to work at any time.
To be objective, no one of these workers will give high level.
On the other hand, because of the low salary, no taxes are paid. International students have the same attitude towards employers, have no sense of responsibility, and have never thought of doing a good job.
This attitude even lasted until after graduation, and the final vicious circle came:
The employer salary is low-the student attitude is poor-the employer salary is lower-the student attitude is worse
I can only work for 10 yuan an hour, either playing with tickets or not looking for it.
To be honest, according to the 40 hours of work every two weeks on a student visa, coupled with the legal employment of part time salary, students, there are basically no worries.
The 40-hour X $20 per hour salary, which is nearly $800 a week, $1600 a month, is enough to rent a house to eat and drink, and because the working hours are not very long, it does not affect the study.
So why can't the above pattern be implemented?
In the final analysis, students' working ability is not high, their professional fields are completely unknown (after all, they have not finished learning), and their English proficiency is limited to paper. Many international students may not even dare to answer phone calls in English except for taking a plate to collect money.
Netizens feel that this does not match the minimum salary standard given by government.
The purpose of the owner is to make money, there is nothing to do, then not invited.
But if you don't invite people, the students are unhappy again. After all, there are a large number of students who need to work and study to subsidize their expenses. They are all Chinese. If the Chinese boss doesn't want it, others don't want it.
So the problem comes, students have to work again, and do not have the ability to work, how to do? That can only lower the recruitment standard, but also lower the salary standard.
Over the years, this has become a hidden rule of compromise between groups of foreign students and employers.
If you want to break away from this hidden rule, you have to be bigger and stronger.
Students who want to leave this latent rule must improve their quality.
Australia is a country that pays great attention to hiring relationship in the market. It can find as much money as it is worth. It can do full-time, experienced skilled workers, good English, and can't worry about finding a high-paying job at all.
