The project aims to raise awareness and develop options for action for Christian trade unions and other workers’ organisations on the following issues:
- Low-wage sector and precarious employment: Many migrants work in poorly paid, physically demanding sectors such as construction, care, agriculture, logistics or meat processing – often without adequate health and safety protection, on contract, as temporary workers or in undeclared employment.
- Housing situation and isolation: Migrant workers often live in overcrowded shared accommodation, isolated from the majority society.
- Legal uncertainty and exploitation: Many are unaware of their rights or are afraid to assert them. This makes them vulnerable to wage fraud, lack of social security or dismissal.
Awareness should also be raised about the significance of skilled workers leaving for the sending countries.
