But the employees were deducted 2500 Norwegian kroner every month for living there." ... uncovered also that an additional 70-80 Polish construction workers were lodged in a house at Vallø outside Tønsberg. The attic, the cellar and hallways were used as "sleeping space". — Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority characterized the conditions, as some of the worst they had seen."[2]
