Brief synopsis

Fraudsters and cheats, wage dumping and undeclared work - up close and personal with the labour market inspectors Frédy, Regula, Marcos, Stefan and Chrümu, we despair with them at the often almost insoluble task of enforcing legal minimum standards in the Swiss working world. The European Union demands ultimately less effective wage protection measures in Switzerland. The trade unions want to stand firm. A political road movie that conveys a complex subject in an exciting way.
