After Germany opened up its labor market to Poland and 7 other countries, workers in Germany fear their wages or hours may be cut. Government officials insist that they will protect German workers from any undercutting that may happen as the over 100,000 immigrants a year find a place in the German work force.
Workers from Poland, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Hungary, Slovakia, Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia are eligable to join the market. Ministers are using popular newspapers to reassure the public. Still, their reassurance is not comforting the union workers that fear the cheap labor their employers might find in new immigrants.
