Improving Protection of Labor Rights of Vulnerable Migrants in the Czech Republic
Financuje:
PICUM, Robert Bosch Stiftung
The project aims to support migrant workers, especially vulnerable groups such as migrants in irregular positions or holders of temporary protection. Project activities include legal counseling in the area of labor law and related residence issues, assistance from intercultural workers in communication with authorities and employers, advocacy work, and educational activities. This comprehensive approach seeks to improve wage and working conditions for migrant workers in the Czech labor market, strengthen their access to justice, and facilitate the path to decent employment. Additionally, the project strives to open a public debate and address overlooked issues such as unpaid wages, long working hours, illegal dismissals, and prevention of loss of residency status. Project outputs and experiences will be presented to the public through articles, field studies, and media outputs, and will be supported by public debates and seminars.
