Blog posting from Pierre (neighbour):
I talked with Maja at the phone and she let me post this on the community blog.
I have read what Maja has published about the immigrants seeking jobs, and the article in the paper. This is a difficult problem with no easy answers. In my opinion we have a long way to go, but we have to do something now.
I am sceptical about the proposal having quotas from immigrants to be employed. This only leads to aggression among local people and more hostile attitudes between the groups.
I will ask the unemployed immigrants to demonstrate their skills and make employers aware that they are valuable resources for the employer’s enterprises.
many Africans do not want to work at all, they will rather sit and chew khat and let other do the work for them, a shame!
The system is wrong, take the wellfare money away from them and get them to work.. as in the US! There they get no pillows under their arms
The young immigrants are a large potential group with many resource, which we do not fully appreciate. Let them show themselves!
Arrange a meeting between potential employers and the employees, so they get the chance to know each other.
yes, arrange a speed meeting!
