In October 2023, Generation 2.0 for Rights, Equality, and Diversity in collaboration with SolidarityNow launched the project “Revealing the Unseen Migrant Workers”, which will run until September 2025, funded by PICUM and the Robert Bosch Stiftung‘s labour rights and labour migration programme.
The project aims to highlight the long-standing problems faced by migrant workers in Greece with or without legal documents, including precarious working conditions, undeclared work, labour exploitation, inequalities, and discrimination. This reality is a symptom of the absence of targeted and effective social and employability policies. However, there is no official data to document the scale of precarious working conditions. The project includes survey and data collection activities, an awareness-raising campaign, as well as seminars on labour rights aimed at empowering the migrants who work in our country.
The implementation of the seminars starts this month, December 2023, and is expected to be completed by May 2025. The topics of the seminars are:
- The distinction between declared and undeclared work
- The basic labour rights and obligations
- The identification of secure and legal jobs advertised
The 1st seminar will take place on 6 December 2023 by SolidarityNow in Athens (12.00 – 15.00) and in Thessaloniki (10.00 – 13.00). Relevant announcements will be made for the next seminars.
