the paris is expecting more than 15000000 visitors for the 2024 olympics and paralympics the government promised the games would be socially responsible, but on major construction sides, the reality has been different. with type construction schedules to keep companies have turned to sub contractors for the hiring of workers. thus avoiding the legal risk of directly employing on documented migrants. authorities have tried to take action against illegal employment at olympic construction sites. even so, some companies have been sued in labor records by workers who have been denied proper documentation of done as these has been working as a painter on the construction of the data is arena, the flagship venue of the paris olympics. he's decided to strike so that he can get

papers to allow him to see his family in molly because his mother, every morning though he hasn't told her about the high risk industrial and he's planning since his father's death. he supported her as best he can. ease of ability, the student uh, put it in my mail to my mothers, being very worried ever since my father died was that's why i set off of my journey to europe. or if i don't know of on to you, and you know, he tried to cross the mediterranean several times in 2019. he spent 12 hours in a rubber dingy before the red cross rescued him and dropped him off in spain. that is over here and i'll see, and i'll be in friends properly. that's my dream of that. it's just before 7 am on tuesday, october 17th, 2023. the striking workers and their supporters head towards pump to national

visual engler activists have handed out metro tickets. any run in with the authority as mike jeopardize the plan and could be dangerous for these undocumented migraines. i'm just checking who that is. they trying to be inconspicuous as they approach the site over there. they've seen us the, the strikers occupied the area demanding documents certifying that they've been working on the construction sites. that way they can apply for legal residency. ready each year 1000 is good residents papers this way,

the application is received because it can also result in deportation. employers also need to supply pay slips, which would show that they've been employed. undocumented workers. the i'm done as ease has been elected spokes person for the striking workers together with the others. he's come outside to speak to the press. a chin is with the c n t s o union. he's done this before. well, that's up to you, the same people will go out and come back in. you can count us in and out negotiates with a guard who's blocking the entrance,

the of the but during the press conference, the management asks for the names of the workers who left the side of the seas and the others are stuck outside. where do you have seen them, where no names can giving any names would weaken their negotiating position. the situation is deadlocked until government representative show up. the construction project was commissioned by the city of paris. i have what you're saying. i just want to know who these people are, casual fitness in around, no point them out, one by one. good ideas. i've done that as this is the 1st to return that we're winning 7 hours after the occupation began beside management allows in some food prepared by the migrants not to is

a founding member official named one group. he hands out sandwiches. mama do comes from money. his father served in the french army in the 2nd world war this will pursue man twice a week. we give a week's much information for undocumented workers on the construction site. so by that it's on to there are a lot of them here, the, the best on easy. he describes the subcontractors practices. we do for them to sometimes the 100 checks with new names on the wasn't because they knew were on documented this is the lead. all 4 of our colleagues, that's why we're here today like the, we have a message for believe it went through the company claims that clean hands, but that's not true, but uh, if it works with dirty companies and it can't have a clean hands, that's good to go through,

it looks like we probably have it here it is on. if i just give a zip slip among the supporters, the tension is beginning to rise. they've taken a risk by coming here, but they themselves are not the subject of these negotiations. the time we come just to support the people who work here, let me know how about you were doing it for everyone to learn. what would it be useful? they're demanding a meeting with the interior and labor ministries to discuss their situation. i remember we've talked to everyone together. what are the people from yesterday worker from this site and those from other sites? everyone's here, robot. i bet no, it fulton, whatever. they want the government to hear their voice is one of the for it's part . the government wants to tighten conditions for getting permits to undocumented migrants know. oh, well that it can keeps everyone updated. please give me

a week says they were surprised to discover that these employees had no papers. i think that they could have come for it. i think that's interesting me reason you haven't even seen it. they've been, my response was that they would probably have been fired over, but it might denise also probably some of you work directly for boy gun this construction site, but you most of you worked for sub contractors of all the some fit on a pre yes it can you show me probably others haven't worked on any of the grand cares projects or olympic game sites on that. the 3rd i saw the strength of this movement is that it can get papers for the workers on this side. also, you will probably see, but it can also do the same for others. no. as far as person, i've done it as easy as taking part and then negotiations along with representatives of visual lean war and the c and t. s. o union officials from the city of paris and week the company building via data. serena 3,

subcontractors are also present the, the delegation once the agreement to include as many workers as possible. ok, the demands of both sides have been matched. the after 10 hours of negotiations, the strikers are satisfied with the outcome. they and everyone else who's worked for the 3 subcontractors in the last 3 to 5 months receive assign declaration. it will also apply to employees who work here over the next 3 months. they aren't

granted a meeting with the government, but they're given an appointment at the town hall a can joined the union when he was 15. he's always fond for his convictions. he even served 2 years in prison as a conscientious objector, his girlfriend and a wants him to slow down. she works for a local newspaper when he can carries out industrial action in the area and she's able to report on it to the whole day of negotiations with their grandpa a, a t s. the last for to he's in the i saw the article in the video online. do you get the one where we take down the barriers to get off without a successor? it's jen has to continue the fight himself. he only takes a break to spend time with his grandchildren. then duty calls once again to could you close it by

the, since the strike action, those who have demanded their work permits aren't being allowed back to work at the deed as a reno or other construction sites belonging to the company, the the hello. yes. hello etc. and to show from the c n t s o useful has that we've learned that you're no longer allowing the colleagues for whom we occupied the construction site on the 17th to work at the arena, grounds new, really super. i probably use your, let me see. did i not see a few days after the action i h n and his colleagues use leaflets to inform the workers about the agreement? no, the sign protocol must be adhered to earning for we always speak to put together. the striking worker is being kept out of the construct inside have already been replaced by other regular workers. right now she gets to see if you carry on like

this wheel occupied the site again, you know, valuable goopy. yes, that doesn't matter. especially if i can are, you can call the police that's with you as to do whatever you like. ok, see you then in europe you have to once again, the workers demonstrate at the adidas arena, construction side, along with the union and members of this shane war group, including the do the, they've exploited us for years. despite the pressure, the contractor won't let those who took part in the strike back onto the site. they broke in their promise and violated our agreement. the, the atmosphere is tens which just 8 months to go until the olympic games begin. the company is determined to continue its work for us to stay there. we're not going to

be locked up and we can go wherever we want to. no problem. for one person, for section 7, yes, or maybe 2 per section, one won't be enough frontier. so i think you or. 7 c the they weren't stuff those they can't afford to pay for, but we're together side by side based on knowing us. we'll go even further.

stop. we don't provoke anyone. it's okay. yes. that's in to sean speaking with yes. hello. we've reoccupied the arena site to go down right now. we'd like to start negotiations to continue work on the site. i'd like to talk to you about it. it can hopes to solve the problem on site, but it's not that simple, right? february, that's around the, i'm losing tell your henchmen to come down because we're back in they beat us, but that doesn't matter. we think we want to talk to we the open agency. i think the certainly dale company and the mayor of mister additional, this is unacceptable. if we will use also being unacceptable. i know they keep lying. you know that i know you're and your telling the well, cuz the things that on the trailer was like, the bosses say they can't legally lead undocumented workers back onto their sides.

but the process of getting legal status through employment does allow people to keep working while they're applying. i definitely feel i just don't allow it to her a liar, liar, because of all the cameras around. i've done that as these kinds of things. when we negotiated and but we accepted it, but even so, the undocumented migrants here and not being allowed to work for potentially safety . so by the only getting my colleague is that holding me, he can't work and he has a family children's only for me. we're here to support him on of any points he thrown into the display from the company called the police. again, the officers start by talking to the managers of the construct inside the building, looked up zillow, and i'll show you my id card right away on the road and then you won't have to ask

me. i know how it governs if you don't want it. i want to cool, yes. give it to me from what's going on here too. okay. and we, we, we, it has to abide by the agreement we signed with them. you know, the company must allow its workers to return to the construction site. it's going to cover you, you'll see their people like you in main way, you know, they can't survive on their, they have to be able to work. the planning to stay to easy for now. yes. if it gets cold with sleep inside, the threats being taken seriously of the old one boy used ups playing games will stop to them. the paras government intervenes. it can gets a call from deputy mayor a mine would be like why? i mean, why should i have no contact with we use company management just with a representative. what's happening here is embarrassing for the mayor of paris,

who committed in writing to uphold workers' rights on olympic constructive sites. we mail yes, but there is no risk of being mr. greg, why there is no risk. ok. heavy in the we and so the day will companies have to come and negotiate and so the boys can work again to see, to get this whole part. are you after occupying the site for a 2nd time, the workers are successful within a few hours. they're granted the meeting, they ask for the

adult as ease agent and other members of the group meet with parents. officials, supporters wait outside the town hall in temperatures below freezing. as the worker's movement pushes forward with its demands view, the deputy mayor expresses his support. so we support giving legal status to the i'm documented watkins, especially if they've been working for these companies in france for many years. oh, don't they don't know normal that as well because they still don't have comedies and don't have legal status. so pepsi isn't we're determined to support them, jones now and in the future. exactly. if i need only going to, he vows to put pressure on immigration officials so that the striking workers get

appointments quickly. with the workers now barred from the data, serena side of dell as ease is sent to another construction site. in the after much pressure, the movement manages to submit legal status applications for the 14 undocumented workers who have the courage to reveal their status. but after 4 months of done as ease has heard nothing from the authorities examining his file. hold on to pull them out. i have no problem with the boss. yeah. for them just with administer use for the authorities and the police company. we use it, they go after the strike and use on the set, the chaos has a stall and a seasonal phone with him, but we'll keep going. and so he's on. he will not be on well, continue. he doesn't trust their promises on the div on day of uh, in public and they say this or that will happen. well, these are things that they don't actually do anything else, you know,

and the one that we don't want money is that going to be once he worked for mental health insurance? so we're demanding. what's rightfully ours is going to be money. that's 5 years. and $155.00 and coins a lot single. he feels especially lonely in legal during ramadan. amenities are not having any friends here. some people or new laws drastically restrict the process of gaining legal status through work done as these fields, an obligation to his boss who gave him his documents. let me see. i know if he has a construction site in mercy. i'll go there to the accepted ottoman, so will accept his i've done as these remains active in the movement. despite moving to the all

activism and family celebrations taken back to paris regularly. less than 4 months before the games, things are still under construction. hello. hi. how are you? good. how are you trip? yes, thanks to god. for this time adela, as ease is in tears to celebrate the end of ramadan. he also visits the c n t s o office. so i'm considering just as you know, your file was submitted to the prefecture. it's very slow. 18. 0, do you have any questions about it? you saw so to see, i think everything was fine, but really the table you for the life. ok if you get unemployment and you have to let us know right away to be continued, then one of us can go with you to the prefecture, so you'll be safe. thanks. hope i'm tied up with the $2.00 piece a

plus you purchased the okay. you go and how are things going in the, on your a sub of plug. leon is okay. of to go see that. uh and i moved there at the end of december for work. the pathfinder, these are the, you know, phones on my boss told me he doesn't just have construction sites in paris. so for us, he has them all over friends. he's always on to a bundle. don't go to you said i should go to lee on the customer, the single single quite a. do you want to know why? he said that here we go. he doesn't want you to work on their construction sites. see, see that company is this most important customer, right? so he's respecting the protocol signed with us and i've talked to the extent that he can. so that means, you know, this is the facility. so right. i to yeah, you have the cars or others on your side without permits. it can also wants to help

new workers, boise fine. yeah, i think there's one in the low and i've spoken to him already. oh, that is me. he says it'll come managed, but i think he's scared of his team leader because it's the bosses cause obviously if they keep exclusively to set up who's on the platform, he's working for you and you don't have a permit and it's highway man in a bus on the ceiling, or maybe the boss will register him or he been without us under the name. but since the strike, his boss is also issued employment contracts to migrant who are not included in the agreement. plus he's probably afraid will react later. yeah, he's a bit scared. right now things are okay. all right. well, for now, so far we've managed to struggle quite well. i'm gonna be a minute since that day when it's hopefully we'll get results soon. we're on the so the, let's see on the yeah the i'm or it will be mid april. as far as i know me,

i've read on that phone call even though the new immigration regulations restrict people from getting legal status through work, they don't currently affect the work or supported by it. can they, are you quick upon their, in no particular hurry to implemented cnn? if they did, they'd have to fire and deport all the workers in the restaurant industry. when you say, hey, this is say to the toner, you have to, some of them are, i've slice you without them. half of the restaurants would probably have to close to the 9th or participants. you need sophie so the only solution is legal status through work. the youngest, or are you celebrating with family this evening at the end of ramadan, down with them? yes. and today and tomorrow we'll bring the fast. see, there's going to be allowed to do that is you'll make lamb to yes and right now go to fits and what family do you have here?

my cousin and my uncle's lives, they have children. yes. well the nice part of human face, yes. is here. we ask we'd some questions about what happened of the company's press spokesperson beth and your mind sent us. the statement we accuse is some of the striking markers of identity theft or forgery, saying that on documented migrants used, borrowed, or forge documents. when they were asked for identification during the hiring process. the company says it's taking action against illegal employment. it wants to introduce strict control procedures on its construction sites and enlist the help of the score it is to check id cards. there will be specific clauses in contracts with subcontractors, intended to guarantee them. workers receive legal status.

if undocumented workers are discovered on its construction sites, as was the case after the strike at the deed as rena week will quote, take measures to put an end to illegal employment relationships the since the a data serena was completed, it's hosted several concerts and basketball games i've done as ease continues to work in new york and remains in contact with this elaine, one group and with a 10 when he can't make it to paris to join demonstrations in person. he follows along via the what that group

demonstrates as much as we can. we help hire, you can't get foreign language. so without realty on the phone with i've done that as ease mother do has something to report as well. no, no, no, there's good news. the prefecture it's, and now you're looking at the applications of 2 of your colleagues, go to go to the desktop, or if it's, if the, the 1st to get an appointment with the authorities is a colleague who hasn't been allowed to work on the construction sides. since the strike and since then, others have also been offered appointments, including i've done that as ease its progress. and it's proved for me. i do the striking workers that their struggle has been worth it.

the of the we are all set we are watching to see all the to bring you the story behind the new, the will on about com, biased information for free might say do 10 in the in charlotte the currently more people than ever on the
