Carnival Cruise and labor conditions

I am not sure how to feel about all of the hard working guys on these cruise ships.... they are working their tail off.... I have now seen first hand how a company can use its employees when a labor union is not involved. As an example.... the waiters in this ship are working 7 days a week with a lunch break... They are doing it for 6 to 7 months in a row... and what is interesting is that they have to renew their contract after this.... How convinient to Carnival Cruise.... These guys start fresh each time and they can get rid of the guys that they do not want... I think that people in the western world has to realize how well they are taken care of....

Do Carnival pay for the trips back home....? Of course not.... Each employee has to doi it themselves.... So that will eat up a big chunck of the income that these guys have earned...

I kind of feel bad to see this exploatation....
