a, let's say together, nick always talks about community life on the service. the research is now on the paris is often called the city of lights and the city of love this summer. it will also become the sports capital of the world. is to sorry, it's a bit cramped. these workers are planning to occupy one of the biggest olympics construction sites and bring work to a hold. since french authorities brought in a restrictive immigration law, they've been fighting to secure legal status. union representative needs and they shall gives them advice and we'll join them for the strike thing. part one, they're all pretty. once we're inside these off on that were there to demand our

rights not to get arrested to us. i'm very active this from this elaine while or black vest movement hand out the contact details of a lawyer in case the police get to know what one member i'm gonna do. that translates between so think it in french and if we have to be strong when it will fight until we reach our goal to scott. so 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 sites, 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 employed and documented my grants.

authorities have tried to take action against illegal employment at olympic construction sites. even so some companies have been sued in labor chords by workers who 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 paras 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 kitchen, he's planning. since his father's death, he supported her as best he can. these i'm apparently they stayed on the my mother's being very worried ever since my father died was that's why i set off of my journey to europe. i don't know, going to, you know, he tried to cross the mediterranean several times in 2019. he's been 12 hours in a rubber dingy before the red cross rescued him and dropped him off in spain. that

is your going to see and i'll be and 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 initial this. elaine who are active, this stuff handed out metro tickets. any running with the authorities might jeopardize the plan and could be dangerous for these undocumented migraines. i'm just checking who that is. they try to be inconspicuous as they approach the site over there. they've seen us. the

of 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 employing undocumented workers. the . 2 the. 6

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 the guard who's blocking the entrance, 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 no giving any names would weaken their negotiating position. the situation is deadlocked until a government representative show up. of 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 around the point them out, one by one. good ideas, really. i've done that as these is the 1st to return. we're winning 7 hours after the occupation began beside management allows in some food prepared by the migrants. my, my do is a founding member of this. elaine, one group, he hands out sandwiches. lemme do comes from money. his father served in the french army in the 2nd world war this low proximity, twice a week. we give the leave slip to information for undocumented workers on the construction site. so right, that is sent to you. there are a lot of them here to the sony, see,

he describes the subcontractors practices. you probably did the sometimes the 100 checks with new names on them because the newer and documented this is the lead, all 4 of our colleagues. that's why we're here today and i don't wanna be neglected . we have a message for believe it went through the company claims to have clean hands, but that's not true. but the, if it works with dirty companies and it can't have a clean hands that's good to go through. it looks is that the good, the good it is on. if i just give zip still, 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. why? why would it be useful? they're demanding a meeting with the interior and labor ministries to discuss their situation. i remember we talked to everyone together. what does the people from yesterday worker

from this site and those from other sites, everyone's here robot. i've had no need for them. i don't know if it's something, you know, they want the government to hear their voices. one of the for it's part, the government wants to tighten conditions for getting permits to undocumented migrants know when that they can keeps everyone updated humor week says they were surprised to discover that these employees had no papers that'd be that they could have come forward. you think that's, that's the only reason you haven't even seen it. even my response was that they would probably have been fired example. right. but it might, denise, also probably some of you work directly for, but we've done this construction site. but you, most of you worked for sub contractors of all this all if we yes it can you show me probably others haven't worked on any of the grand cares projects or live big 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 folks person, i've done it as easy as taking part in the 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 sub contractors are also present the, the delegation once the agreement to include as many workers as possible. okay, the demands of both sides have be matched. and in 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 assigned 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 join the union when he was 15. he's always fought for his convictions. he even served 2 years in prison as a conscientious objector, his girlfriend, and he wants him to slow down with a. 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, the t and the last 4 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 yan 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 we hello. yes. hello etc. and to show from the c n t s o a. so who's that we'd learned that you're no longer allowing the colleagues for whom we occupied the construction side on the 17th to work at the arena grounds, nudity,

super. i probably use your receipt right now to see a few days after the action agent and his colleagues use leaflets to inform the workers about the agreement. no, the same protocol must be in here too early 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 met. nope, she graphs you see if you carry on like this wheel occupied the site again, you know, valuable goopy. yes, that doesn't matter. it's actually fine. you can call the police views and do whatever you like. ok, see you then in europe, you have to the once again, the workers demonstrate at the adidas arena, construction side, along with the union, members of the issues in 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 tense, with just 8 months to go until the olympic games begin. the company is determined to continue with work through the process today they're, we're not going to be locked up and we can go wherever we want to have no problem. with one person per section. yes or maybe 2 per section, one won't be enough. frontier 3 and so i think the,

[000:00:00;00] the funny thing is they would stuff those they can't we're together side by side. they start to annoying us. we'll go even further in the bill. stop. we don't provoke anyone. it's okay. yes. that's and to sean speaking with yes, hello. we've re occupied the arena site to go down right now. we'd like to start negotiations to continue work on a site. i'd like to talk to you about his cover. yes. it can hopes to solve the problem on side, 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 don't really just you having the solely day or company in the mayor. i mean the funny mr. additional, this is unacceptable if we will use also being unacceptable. no problem. i know they keep like, you know, that i know you asked me and joe, telling the what, cuz things that on the trailer was the bosses say they can 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 a lot of these kinds of things. we negotiated and, but we accepted 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. i don't have any points that don't interpret the display from the company called the police. again, the officers start by talking to the managers of the construct inside the was the low. i'll show you my id card right away on the whole day and then you won't have to have, you know, how it goes. i just, if you don't want it, i want to do that. yes. give it to me from what's going on here for you. 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 and me when way you know they can't survive on their, they have to be able to work. you're planning to stay. so what i'm telling you right now, yes is to be, gets cold,

was sleep inside. the threats being taken seriously, the, the old one boy used ups playing games will stop to them to paris. government intervenes, it can gets a call from deputy mayor, a man with like wire i much, 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 construction sites. we mail? yes, but there is no risk of e. 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 and 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 i've done as ease each end 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, views, 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 say don't put in the phenomena normal that as well because they still don't have comedy. so i don't have legal status. so we're determined to support them. jones now and in the future. exactly. if i need only the only 2 p 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 del as ease is sent to another construction site in the after much pressure. the movement manages to submit the 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 him out, i have no problem with the boss that for them just with administer for the authorities and the police company and we use it. they go after the strike and we use on the set, the chaos has a stall and i sees my phone. i think i'm but we'll keep going. kentucky is on the 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 they don't actually do anything else, you know, and the ones that we don't want money. so you know, the ones that 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. i'm in the are not having any friends here. some people or the 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 on know if he has a construction site in mercy. i'll go there to the accepted ottoman so will accept his done as these remains active in the movement. despite moving to the on activism and family celebrations, take him back to paris regularly. less than 4 months before the games. things are still under construction there. hello. hello. hi. how are you? good. how are you trip? yes, thanks to god. for this time i'm done as ease 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 just also to see i think everything was fine, but really be doable for you for the okay. if you get an appointment and you have to let us know right away to meet, continue, then one of us can go with you and have a pre picture. so you'll be safe. thanks called by the height of what the deal is at. plus you purchased the okay, you go and how are things going in the, on your a silver leone is okay 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 on to a bundled, 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's who we go. he doesn't want you to work under construction sites. see, see that company is this most important customer, right? so he's respecting the protocol, signed with us in a call to the extent that he can. so that means you know, this is the facility. so right. i told you the cars are others on your site without permits. it can also wants to help new workers, boise fine. yeah, i think there's one. no, no, i've spoken to him already. oh that even me. he says he'll come is. i think he's scared of his team leader or to because it's the bosses cause obviously they keep exclusively to set up who's on the portal. he's working for them for the don't have a permit and his highway man, we're in a bus window seeing or maybe the boss will register him. 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, he's probably afraid will react later. yeah, he's a bit scared. right now things are ok. all right. well, for now, so far we've managed to struggle quite well, and it'd be a minute since that day when i was hopefully we'll get results sooner. we're on the so the, let's see, to see all the. yeah, e m or it will be mid april as far as i know me every on that phone call. even though the new integration regulations restrict people from getting legal status through work, they don't currently affect the work or supported by a 10 day your coupon. they're in no particular hurry to implemented seen and if they did, they'd have to fire and to port all the workers in the restaurant industry when you have a nice to say to the toner. yeah, to some of them or i've slicer without them. half of the restaurants would probably

have to close to pull the money to put this whole to need this also. so the only solution is legal status through work. the youngest, as well, sorry, you're celebrating with family this evening. but i from the end of ramadan, going yes, ends today and tomorrow we'll bring the fast. see, there's going to be allowed to do that and you'll make lamb to yes in my now go to fits and what family do you have here? my cousin and my uncle's, he's already they have children. yes, the nice part even say yes. we ask the week, 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 these guarantees to check id cards. there will be specific clauses in contracts with sub contractors intended to guarantee them workers receive legal status. the if undocumented workers are discovered on its construction sites, as was the case after the strike at the deed as a 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 some of the demonstrates as much as we can we help po to 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 to go to the desktop. and 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 the very market
