WORK PERMITS
PICUM
Today in Europe, migrant workers do essential work… and are crucial to many sectors of our economies. But despite the huge demand for workforce, it’s incredibly difficult to come to work: limits on work permits leave migrant workers at the mercy of exploitative employers. ​
PICUM, the Platform for International Cooperation on Undocumented Migrants, is a network of organisations working to ensure social justice and human rights for undocumented migrants. The NGO lobby to increase the availability of work permits and make them decent. They advocate that we can ​answer the huge demand for workforce AND respect every person’s work : We need permits which ensure that people can change jobs and work with proper contracts, better matching their skills and labour market demand. So that work is declared, reinforcing social security and public services.
So that everyone can stand up for decent pay and working conditions without fear and abuse.
