Show the answer
Correct answer: Gastarbeiterinnen/
Why?
They were called Gastarbeiter (guest workers) because at first it was assumed they would stay only for a while and then go home. Many stayed, however, and brought their families over. A Schwarzarbeiter works without being registered, a Zeitarbeiter is employed through an agency and a Schichtarbeiter works in shifts.
Key term: Gastarbeiter = guest worker
