Government pay attention too rarely exploitation by employment agencies seedy – BN De Stem

The government has commissioned numerous large construction projects where shady employment agencies exploit foreign workers. The government must post here and stop to this. Writes FNV Bouw in a letter to Minister Schultz van Haegen (Traffic).

The union was responding to a TV broadcast of Zembla Wednesday on the Irish employment agency Atlanco Rimec. This subcontractor became discredited in 2013 when it came to light that the company meant 1,000 euros per month on salaries of sixty Portuguese construction workers for travel expenses and accommodation in demolition. The foreign workers were used for tunneling the A2 in Maastricht. This project was commissioned by Rijkswaterstaat, where Minister Schultz van Haegen is the boss.

According Zembla is the controversial Irish company with more projects in question where the government is the client, as Waal project ‘i-Lent’ in Nijmegen, the construction of the central station in Arnhem, the A2 and the construction of the North-South line.

,, Unacceptable and worrisome, “says Janna Mud, trade union FNV Bouw driver. The league encounters more often bad businesses. ,, Workers revolt against exploitation, the avenue is output. Louche broadcasters stabbing social contributions and holiday pay in their own pocket. The government should really act. “
