Talk:Social dumping

Solutions?
I wonder if this page can say anything about the alternatives? It seems to be the trade unions to raise this demand, and they normally talk about ensuring that migrant and domestic workers enjoy the same high standards. Is there anyone who connects this to rightist demands, for immigration controls? --Duncan (talk) 15:07, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Anti-competitive behaviour
Why is this article in category "Anti-competitive behaviour"? I think that it is competitive behaviour, because one nation´s workers competitive with another workers in their nation state. --Elm (talk) 13:11, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

Government gain/loss
The article states that the government both gains and looses on social dumping. This should be clarified since the government in fact has a double role as a "guarantee" of social standards and economical growth. --Gustavlu (talk) 09:49, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

I changed the opening sentence
This is a minor change, I know. I just think this phrasing is better. Whoever wrote the original didn't do anything wrong. :)

The original said this:

"Social dumping is a practice of employers who use cheaper labour than is usually available at their site of production or sale [...]"

To me, this sounds like it's defining the thing by its category. Sort of like if I said, "Shoplifting is a type of crime often committed by people who steal merchandise from businesses." Shoplifting *is* the stealing of merchandise, it's not just something that's associated with the type of person who shoplifts.

If I'm wrong here, then someone more knowledgeable on social dumping can revert it. 2603:7081:1603:A300:6003:F39B:29D6:FA07 (talk) 16:25, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
