tex Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=42615 THEIR GOVERNMENT AT WORK Women told, 'Work in brothel, or else' German law forces out-of-work females to take sex jobs or lose unemployment Posted: January 30, 2005 1:00 a.m. Eastern © 2005 WorldNetDaily.com A provision in the German welfare system is forcing out-of-work women to chose between taking jobs in the sex industry or losing their unemployment benefits. Once one of the most generous systems in Europe, Germany's unemployment program has been reformed to require those out of work to take jobs for which they are qualified, or lose benefits. In the case of women, females below the age of 55 who have been out of work for a year or more must take any available job offered. The full legalization of prostitution two years ago – with brothel owners now paying taxes and employee health insurance – has created an awkward situation at German job centers where employers can access the official government database of those seeking work, reports the London Telegraph. One 25-year-old waitress, an unemployed information technology professional, had indicated a willingness to work in a bar at night and had past experience working in a cafe. A potential employer, finding her profile promising, contacted the job center about hiring her. Only after the young woman called to inquire about the job did she learn the employer was a brothel. When she refused the position, she was threatened with cuts to her unemployment benefits. Centers that do not penalize job seekers who refuse offered positions are subject to lawsuits by the employers. "There is now nothing in the law to stop women from being sent into the sex industry," says Merchthild Garweg, a Hamburg lawyer. "The new regulations say that working in the sex industry is not immoral any more, and so jobs cannot be turned down without a risk to benefits." Garweg notes that women who have past experience as telemarketers or call service workers have been offered positions with telephone-sex services. New laws permit sex-oriented employers to advertise in the job centers and provide for the suing of job centers that refuse to accept their ads. When the German government crafted the recent welfare reforms, brothels were initially considered for exclusion, but they were believed too difficult to distinguish from bars. Their inquiries for potential workers are treated no differently than those from grocery stores or schools. "Why shouldn't I look for employees through the job center when I pay my taxes just like anybody else?" asked one central Berlin brothel owner who has been using the local database to find prospective workers. The German experience closely follows that of the Netherlands, according to the Coalition Against Trafficking in Women. Following the 2000 legalization of prostitution by the Dutch and the registration of prostitutes, brothels began using official job centers to find new employees. Garwig believes pressure on job centers to meet employment targets is only going to make the current situation worse. "They are already prepared to push women into jobs related to sexual services, but which don't count as prostitution," she says. "Now that prostitution is no longer considered by the law to be immoral, there is really nothing but the goodwill of the job centers to stop them from pushing women into jobs they don't want to do." Last year, the German federal government announced that it would be fining employers that failed to hire trainees – a measure to be applied to brothels as well as other employers. Brothels failing to hire one apprentice for every 15 employees will be fined for failing to promote the sex industry. Germany legalized prostitution in 2002 in the belief it would slow down the trafficking in women and reduce the role of organized crime in the profession. Instead, government is expanding the sex industry by guaranteeing a steady stream of new recruits, some willing and some not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prosperity Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 There really isn't anything outrageos about this. If she doesn't want to be a hooker she should get another job instead of trying to get more government money. Germany's economy is going in the toilet they have to change something and reducing unemployment benefits might help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamingwolf Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 russia used to throw you in the joint if you didnt have a job, if I had my choice between banging a nasty chick for cash or rotting in the joint. I take banging the nasty chick for cash. Socailism is nasty when you get to the nuts and bolts of it, theoritically its brilliant but you have to remember people are asses. Every last one of us. Just cause you think your superior and you think everyone should be that way too doesnt do it. Ass management is best done on a reward system, rather than controlled system. Asses hate controll and will buck it if they can. Socialism as brilliant as the concept is allows the ass to buck, a capitalist system punishes the ass when it bucks by reducing it to start. The real mystery is why people continue to preach the wonders of socialism on tax payers dollars? Responsible socialism is forcing you to do what you dont want to do for the state, Captialism is its your life die how you want to. what perplexs me is that the anarchistic youth embraces socialism, I really dont get it. Granted the socialists own the school system but one would wager the kids would rebel against that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsFTW Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Damn, thats a good idea! Cheap sex in a trailer park for anyone and everyone, lol. :laugh: Imagine if we had this law: We would get to see Jerry Springer stories about how hosewives were having really smart kids even though the "father" was an unemployed bum with a 65 IQ. And for all those liberals out there it would also be a new way to take from those who spend time earning a living and giving it to those who would rather not. :notworthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex Posted February 1, 2005 Author Share Posted February 1, 2005 What if your a straight man and they tell you to work in the gay brothel or else?

Germany's economy is going in the toilet they have to change something and reducing unemployment benefits might help. I think the idea is that she can't get another job, so she's forced to take a sex job. That is horrific. NO ONE should ever be foreced to be a sex-slave. Is the German economy affected at all by the ruined lives of these women who get strung out on drugs and drink because of this shameless lifestyle? Who pays to put them back together (if it's even possible)? A government program paid for with tax dollars. This is awful and Germany should be ashamed.

The Alchemist Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 It's an incentive to stop mooching off the government. Basically it says,"Get off your lazy @ss and find a job, if you don't find a job one will be appointed to you, in which you will become a prostitute, if you refuse this job, we will cut your benefits, any questions?" I have a feeling it will be very effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Well, for all of you who seem to take the stance of "It's an incentive to stop mooching off the government." I sincerely hope your daughter is forced to make a similar choice one day.. I mean, hey,, who CARES that it's degrading,, that she may be forced to f*ck strangers with god knows how many diseases, or forced to perform in staged sex acts so said strangers can masturbate watching them,,, well hell,, for your daughter, I am sure she'd prefer it to "mooching" off the goverment. In fact, I hope I'm her first client. Just so I could say I helped out. In fact, since times obviously would be so hard that she'd CHOOSE prostitution over welfare,, I'd probably pay the extra so I could enjoy all the areas of pleasure that i have coming to me as a gainfully employed taxpayer. Seriously,, I'm almost glad to see that it's not just our nation that has taken common sense and thrown it out the window. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find a different job, it may not be in your specific field, but a job that's going to bring in income. That's why I say it's an incentive to stop mooching. I don't wish that forced upon anyone, but like I said they have a choice, actually find a job, don't wait for the government to look, while you sit around doing nothing getting money. It's ultimately the person responsibility. Put yourself in their shoes. Wouldn't you go find a job if that were the case? I sure as hell would.

Bang Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Yep. Answers are always that easy. It's of course a good thing for the government to threaten to shove you into prostitution if you don't find another job. Perfectly alright. Anyway, my stance is pretty clear. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
