Swiss move towards barring Eurozone refugees – The Telegraph

Swiss move towards barring Eurozone refugees – The Telegraph

They look the part, but none of the 38 waiters, chambermaids and receptionists are actually Swiss: nearly all are economic refugees from the eurozone, like Vera Correia, 24.
A year ago she was a secretary with a small computer firm near Porto, earning 700 euros (£570) a month, but after years of economic gloom she decided she had no future at home in Portugal. Now she cleans rooms for a salary of 3,500 Swiss Francs (£2,356) a month.
“My boss said it was a pity to become a cleaner after I had done so much studying,” she said. “But my pay has gone up here and I will try to find a similar position to my old one when my French is better.”
