once we're inside and he's off on that. were there to demand our rights not to get arrested to us on the, the activists from the she lane 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 and french, and if it has 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 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 migrant 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 paras olympics. he's decided to strike so that he can get papers to allow him to see his family in molly. he calls his mother every morning, though he hasn't told her about the high risk industrial crunch and his planning. since his father's death, he supported her as best he can. these i'm apparently dish. they don't uh put it in my mail with them. my mothers being very worried ever since my father died was that's why i set off of my journey to europe. i don't know until i knew well, 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 your going to us, you know, being friends properly. that's my dream. it's just before 7 am on tuesday, october 17th, 2023. the striking workers and their supporters head towards pump to national this is a new are activists. i've handed out metro tickets. any run in with the authorities might jeopardize the plan and could be dangerous for these undocumented migrants. i'm just checking who that is. they try 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

. 6 i'm done as ease has been elected spokes person for the striking workers together with the others. he's come out sign 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 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 guys seen them, where no names? no giving any names would weaken their negotiating position. the situation is

deadlocked until a 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 around the point them out, one by one. good ideas, really. i've done that as this 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. you name 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 punch them in twice a week. we give a leaflets information for undocumented workers on the construction site. so by

that it's on to there are a lot of them here. the only see, he describes the subcontractors practices. they probably did the sometimes the 100 checks with new names on the wasn't because the newer and documented this is the legal 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 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, what's good to go through. it looks like we probably have it do this on. if i just give zip codes 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 are going to the point of the time we come just to support the people who work here. let me know how about you were doing it for everyone to wait. right, would it be useful? they're demanding

a meeting with the interior and labor ministries to discuss their situation. i know we've 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 think 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 when that it can keeps everyone updated. we 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 i think that to me or even you haven't even seen it. even 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 on for me. some clicked on a pre. yes it can, you show me probably others haven't worked on any of the grand cares. projects or

live became sites the owner. the 3rd i saw the strength of this movement is that it can get papers for the workers on this side. well, so you'll 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, subcontractors 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 me in the

after 10 hours of negotiations, the strikers are satisfied with the outcome they and everyone else who's worked for the 3 sub contractors 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 t s. 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 jen has to continue the fight himself. he only takes a break to spend time with his grandchildren. then duty calls, once again, could you close it by the, since the strike action, those who have demanded their work permits aren't being allowed back to work as the deed, as a reno or other construction science belonging to the company, the we hello. yes, hello etc. and to show from the c and t s a useful me who's that we'd 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. you 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 same protocol must be in here too early for we always speak to put together. the striking worker is being kept out of the construction side have already been replaced by other regular workers. let's not see. got system if you carry on like this wheel occupied the site again, you know valuable goopy. yes, that doesn't matter. actually if i can or you can call the police abuse and do whatever you like. ok, see you then it may not be up 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 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. so i see here, or 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 and the bill is 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 failure 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 with them. i know they keep like, you know, that i know you have. and joe, telling the well, cuz the things that on the trailer was like, the bosses say they can't legally let 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 the liar liar because of all the cameras around. i've done that as these kinds of things we negotiated and, but we accepted it. but even so, the undocumented migrants here and not doing i like to work for believe 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 in for 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 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 on what's going on here for you? i just indeed 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 there people like you and me when 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, it's

a big gets cold was sleep inside the threats being taken seriously when the those when boy used ups playing games will stop to them. the paras government intervenes. it can gets a call from deputy mayor a mon way like wire. i'm much i have no contact with the 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 mr. greg why there is no risk. ok, heavy in the we and so the day will companies have to come in negotiating. so the boys can work again to see to, to get this whole product you after occupying the site for

a 2nd time. the workers are successful within a few hours. they are 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 workers movement pushes forward with its demands view, the deputy mayor expresses his support. so we support

giving legal status to the undocumented walk ups, especially if they've been working for these companies in france for many years. oh, don't see it on the normal that as well because they still don't have comedy. so i don't have legal status. so if i p we're determined to support them, jones now and in the future. exactly. if i need only only for 2 p vows to put pressure on immigration officials so that the striking markers get appointments quickly. with the workers now bard from the adidas arena side of down 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, i'll keep pulling on. i have no problem with the boss. yeah. for them just with administer for the authorities and the police company and it we use it. they go after the strike and use on the set the chaos. how to stall them. i see them up on 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, but they don't actually do anything right now. if you a random one that we don't want money, is that going to be once the work determines on the health insurance? so we're demanding. what's rightfully ours is going to be money. that's 5 years and 155 and coins. thank you. of single. he feels especially lonely in leo during ramadan. and then 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 know if he has a construction site and mercy. i'll go there to accept it arguments. so we'll accept his bill 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. 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. it came out, do you have any questions about it so, so to see, i think everything was fine, but really the people are of you for the ok. if you get unemployment and you have to let us know right away to intervene, continue, then one of us can go with you and have a pre picture. so you'll be safe. thanks. hope i'm tied up with you to a point of the 2 piece. or is it possible? correct? no. okay. you go and how are things going in the, on your civil 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 cause he has them all over friends 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, that means you know, this is the facility. so, so right. i told you the cars are others on your site without permits. it can also wants to help new workers, boys are fine. yeah. i think there's one. no, no, i've spoken to him already. oh that even me. you know, he says he'll come is. i think he's scared of his team leader to do it because it's the bosses cousin and see if they keep exclusively to sit up. who's on the bottom, he's working for the permit and his highway. man, we're in a bus on the ceiling 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 okay. all right. well, for now, so far we've managed to struggle quite well and it'd be a minute since that day when it's 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 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 have a nice to say to the time i asked you some time or i've slicer without them,

half of the restaurants would probably have to close to put a good mind to practice folks. you need sophie 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 is they have children. yes. the nice part even fed. yes. who is here? we ask week, some questions about what happened or 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 unless the help of the score it is to check id cards. there will be specific clauses in contracts with sub contractors 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 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
