00:01Número esforço para ajudar os europeus que trabalham em outros países EUA, a cumprir seus direitos.
00:07Não é tão importante que nós estamos trabalhando e nós estamos trabalhando.
00:13Esse trabalhador trabalha durante um período de tempo, em um mês, em Alemanha, como um trabalhador, mas pagou menos.
00:20Eles trabalham muito na convivência dos carros de todo o União Europeu.
00:26Millions of Europeans work abroad, and sometimes their employers don't give them the salary and benefits that they are entitled
00:33to.
00:34So a cross-border network of experts is helping them to get what they deserve, and we're here in Slovenia
00:40to see how they make it work.
00:48It's late afternoon at this rest stop on a motorway near Ljubljana,
00:52and an international team from a European project called Fair Labour Mobility EU are on a leafleting campaign.
00:59They talk to drivers about their working conditions, rest time, and pay.
01:03Eles precisam precisar de informação, de verdade, porque não conhecem os seus direitos, não conhecem os direitos, não conhecem os
01:15direitos,
01:15não conhecem os direitos, não conhecem os direitos, não conhecem os direitos, não conhecem os direitos.
01:17Eles precisam precisar de informação, e que eles precisam precisar de informação.
01:22O ponto é confirmado por Slovenian trucker Goran Jovanovic.
01:27Ele diz que muitos long-distance drivers têm pouco conhecimento de trabalho e prática.
01:32A principal problema é que a etnografia não utilizam a etnografia,
01:36e a principal problema é que eles não são pagados por coletivo, como eles podem ser,
01:41mas pagados por fixos dias e pagados por quilômetros.
01:45Esse é o principal problema. E isso é o que eles são utilizados.
01:48O Fair Labour Mobility EU councillors come from eight different countries
01:52and often meet to discuss complex cross-border cases.
01:57This year, their project has a budget of 1.2 million euros,
02:01with 90% coming from the European Union.
02:04Project coordinator Dragan Abubal stresses the importance
02:07of meeting the foreign workers face-to-face, wherever they are.
02:11We are going not only to the highway stations,
02:15but also to construction centres, to agricultural fields,
02:19to the places where the optic fibre cables are being laid out.
02:25The cases they investigate might involve a range of abuses,
02:28from unpaid social security contributions to work accidents,
02:32unacceptable accommodation and underpayment,
02:35often across several countries.
02:37The biggest challenges that we experience in the counselling work
02:41are definitely long subcontracting chains.
02:45And without this transnational cross-border case handling,
02:50the chances for the worker to get their wages at the end
02:54are quite minimal.
02:58The work of these labour councillors is not happening in isolation.
03:02In parallel to this project, the European Commission
03:04is making fresh efforts to guarantee clear social rights and protection
03:08for workers across the EU.
03:11It's doing so through a proposal called the Fair Labour Mobility Package,
03:15which has three key goals.
03:17Faster recognition of qualifications across borders,
03:21a digital wallet to store and share social security documents,
03:25and a larger role for the European Labour Authority to fight fraud.
03:29One key argument from the European Commission is that strong cross-border labour rights
03:34don't just support workers, they're also good for businesses
03:37and underpin the entire EU economy.
03:40If you tackle more abuses and if you fight against fraud,
03:44have better inspections and a better cooperation between member states,
03:47you also generate more productivity, more competitiveness,
03:50and you will get also more money for your treasuries.
03:54On the shores of Lake Balaton in Hungary, we meet another worker
03:58who was supported by the experts at Fair Labour Mobility EU.
04:02Gábor Gusleván heads the Works Council at a car parts factory
04:06and faced a dispute about how lengthy cross-border journeys should be compensated.
04:12Gábor Gusleván heads the Works Council at a car parts factory
04:13The problem itself was a question of how much work,
04:16travel time, travel time, travel time,
04:19we try to agree with each other.
04:21After advice from his union and Fair Labour Mobility EU,
04:25he found a solution.
04:45The Fair Labour Mobility EU project helped nearly 3000 workers
04:50to claim their labour and social rights between 2024 and 2025.
04:54to claim their labour and social rights between 2024 and 2025.
04:55to claim their labour and social rights between 2024 and 2025.
