IG BAU – protection for workers – economy

The Bauen Agrar Umwelt trade union has called for better social protection for seasonal workers in agriculture. “The permanent massive violations of labor law in seasonal work must finally stop,” said IG BAU Vice Harald Schaum on Friday at the presentation of the 2021 annual report of the Fair Agricultural Work Initiative. According to estimates by the union, around 274,000 migrant workers were again employed in the various harvests in Germany in 2021. Numerous cases are documented in the report in which the people, mostly from Eastern Europe, were deprived of their fair wages using various methods.
