| Description | This chapter focuses on the practice of foreign workers in Czechoslovakia during the first economic plans, i.e. the Two-Year Plan and the first Five-Year Plan between 1947 and 1950. The number of foreign workers at that time did not exceed twenty thousand people and their stays in the country were, with a few exceptions, short. The workers who found employment in Czechoslovak agriculture and industry during this period came from various countries, including the neighboring countries of Poland, Bulgaria and Romania, but also from Italy. The fundamental question that this chapter seeks to answer is what role guest labor played in Czechoslovakia's communist economic policy. Finally, an attempt is also made to analyze the possibilities and limitations of these workers' strategies on the Czechoslovak labor market. |
