Long subcontracting chains foster injustice, says ETUC leader

Description

A recent study from Aalborg University on the exploitation of migrant workers in the construction industry has been presented at a European Parliament debate. The study, which focused on the Danish construction sector, found that migrant workers face significant work pressures and unsafe conditions. "From 2016 to 2022, migrant workers accounted for about 37% of all fatal workplace accidents, despite only making up around 13% of the total employment over that same period," said Charlotte Hooper Overgård, one of the authors of the report from Aalborg University.
