Descrizione
The search for a new solidarity in Europe by recognizing the plight of “Invisible”
Migrant Workers. Migrant workers are part of the everyday economic
life of Europe. Today we find Ukrainian agricultural workers in Spain, Romanian
workers in German meat factories, and Slovakian, Czech and Hungarian
geriatric nurses assisting Austrian families – to name a few. Usually these workers
are “invisible.” Many of them are exploited both socially and economically. During
their time of employment, they live in poverty level accommodations. Employee
rights, such as hours or work breaks, have been ignored. During this time of COVID
crisis these invisible migrant workers have become visible. The lines of exploitation
often run between Western and Eastern Europe; but also occur between EU and
non-EU states.
