Hello everybody
I've tried to write the transcription of this video :
Lien Internet
Could you please help me correct my mistakes ?
Many thanks in advance !
Everyday at dawn, Bama comes here to wait for work. He travelled to Spain from Mali six years ago to work the fields, but for the past three weeks, there has been nothing.
These days, no farmers stop to pick you up, Bama tells me.
Magab is worried too. His wife and a young son in Mauritania are depending on him.
Beneath this sea of plastic and XXXXX in Spain, there are tens of thousands of immigrant workers. Their life has been hard hit for a long time, but the E.coli scare has made things worse. Sales of Spanish produce stopped and a whole harvest was left rotten
Spanish farmers are about to destroy a huge amount of produce, they've lost thousands of euros throwing away perfectly good fruit and vegetables like this. But it's not just the farm owners here who're losing out.
Once this land is cleared, most of the labourers will lose their jobs.
We're trying to save money to invest less and reduce our costs. You can't save on the plants so the easiest way to cut back is to reduce the workforce.
But many are already living like this, in homes made from packing cases as hot inside as the greenhouses.
Since Spain's construction bubble burst, thousands of unemployed immigrants have moved back here, but there's no way near or a farming to go round. What there is, is increasingly underpaid and undocumented.
There is no stable work. And without work, you can't rent a flat. We don't have enough money for rent on food, so we live here.
More and more people are dependent on charity to get XXXXX and when compensation for the E.coli scare finally comes in, workers here are pretty sure they'll see none of it.
