At 7 am in the Krušné hory (Ore Mountains) it is extremely cold. The first thing Kubas's employees do is make a fire to get warm. Only then they start struggling with the frozen branches covered with snow.

31-year old Jana Facunová is trying to support her family of five by earning some bucks in the forests of Krušné hory. "I was trained as a cook and waitress. I call somewhere and they tell me they have, say, two vacancies, come to see us. But as soon as I show up, they tell me the jobs have been taken," says Facunová. "I have a Czech name - but when they see I am Romani, that's the end."
