Arbeidsinspectie werkt mee aan uitzetting ongedocumenteerde werknemers In plaats van ongedocumenteerde werknemers tegen uitbuiting te beschermen, werkt de arbeidsinspectie mee aan hun uitzetting. De dienst werkt daarvoor intensief samen met de Vreemdelingenpolitie. Uit…

Uit angst voor uitzetting durven veel ongedocumenteerde werknemers misstanden niet te melden. Terecht, blijkt uit onderzoek van OneWorld en @groene.nl. De Arbeidsinspectie werkt namelijk samen met de Vreemdelingenpolitie. Daarom worden ook de schoonmakers van Saints & Stars waarschijnlijk uitgezet.

Shimi Zuaretz, a spokesperson for COGAT, the Israeli body that controls Palestinian civil affairs, told AFP they left Gaza “after COGAT received approval from a third country to receive them”.
