Insights into the shadow world of labor migration: Sascha Lübbe reads in Marzahn

On 9. October 2024 at 7:00 p.m. the district central library in Berlin can expect a very special reading! The journalist and author Sascha Lübbe will read from his sensational book "At the bottom of the system". The location? The artotheque in the Marzahner Promenade 55, 12679 Berlin - a place known for exciting literary events!

In his gripping work, Lübbe reveals the relentless reality with which migrants are faced in Germany. They stand on the construction work front, slaughter animals, harvest fresh vegetables and keep offices and hotels going. But if you think that these people would work for a fair payment, you are extremely wrong! Lübbe reveals how they are often mercilessly exploited - and this goes far beyond individual cases.

insights into a shadow economy

In a shocking parallel world on the German labor market, large companies store unpleasant tasks to subcontractors. As a result, they roll the responsibility and avoid any moral duty. Lübbe provides urgent reports that temporary workers show in the meat industry, construction workers in desolate dormitories and the loneliness of Uzbek truck drivers. He not only lets readers share their working conditions, but also asks: How could it get that far?

• What are the historical, social and economic hurdles that stand in the way of change?
• is it possible to find a fair solution within a profit -driven system?
• and last but not least: is our prosperity on the exploitation of these work names people?

Sascha Lübbe has made a name for himself and writes for renowned media such as time online, taz and stern.de. His reports are brave and revealing, which makes him a sought -after rapporteur. It was nominated for various prizes, including the German Reporter Prize and the German Journalist Award.
