the blackstone dw plus that made some of the on documented workers comp to build facilities, the upcoming of kind of a lympics. i'll be back a little bit of good the i sorry, so one on 6 times to please come and see more people than ever on the move worldwide. in such a better price than mine. and one time it is very hard to say, very difficult to find out about time on store info. my grand 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 too sorry, it's a bit cramped. me all these workers are planning to occupy one of the biggest olympics construction sites and bring work to a halt. since french authorities brought in a restrictive immigration law, they've been fighting to secure a legal status. union representative needs and they shall give them advice and will join them for the strike. things like when they're all pretty, once we're inside and he's off long enough, 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 into with one member. lemme do 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 tight 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 migrant 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. is i'm apparently the state of the my mother is 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 spent 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 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 pumped into shop. did you lean more active? this stuff handed out metro tickets. any running 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 side 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 employing 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 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

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 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 that 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. mama 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 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 we do for them to sometimes the 100 checks with new names on the wasn't because they knew were and documented. this is the lead on 4 of our colleagues. that's why we're here today. like the neglect, we have a message for believe it went through the company claims to have clean hands, but that's not true. but if it works with dirty companies and it can't have a clean hands, that's good to go through and look into that. the good it is. so if i just give you

the full 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 easily associations are going to the point of the wanted have 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? i've had no need for them. i don't know if it's something 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 they can keeps everyone updated. we came with the week says they were surprised to discover that these employees had no papers. i think that they could have come forward. they

think that successfully, or even you haven't even seen it, even my response was that they would probably have been fired. example like that might. denise, also probably some of you work directly for boy gun this construction site, but most of you worked for subcontractors of on board. it's a bit of a 3. yes it can, you show me probably others haven't worked on any of the grandparents project or olympic game sites. the owner, 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 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. 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. they 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. 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, the 8 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 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 we hello. yes. hello, that's and to show from the c n t s o useful has 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 new, really super. i probably use your receipt that i now see a few days after the action i h n and his colleagues use leaflets to inform the workers about the agreement. now the sign 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. we'll occupied the site again. real good. yes, that doesn't matter. actually if i can or you can call the police views and do

whatever you like. okay, see you then in europe, you have to 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 for us to stay there. we're not going to be locked up and we

can go wherever we want to have no problem. for one person per section. yes or maybe 2 per section one won't be enough frontier. so i think you or the funny thing is they weren't stuff those they can't afford to pay for, but we're together side by side. they start to annoying us. we'll go even further and the bill is stop. don't provoke anyone. it's okay. yes. that's and 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 a site. i'd like to talk to you about it cover. yes, it can hopes to solve the problem on side. but it's not that simple, right? february the for around the i'm losing tell your henchmen to calm 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 of in the funny mr. additional, this is unacceptable if we will use also being unacceptable. you know, tell me, i know they keep like, you know, i know you have and joe telling the, well, cuz things that on the trailer was on the bosses say they can 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 is

definitely the largest, 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 we accepted it, but even so, the undocumented migrants here and not being allowed to work for believe my colleague is it holding me? i'm, 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 i know how it goes. if you don't want it, i want to do that. yes. give it to me from what's going on here. and you will,

you has to abide by the agreement we signed with them because i mean it don't, 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. if it gets cold with sleep inside, the threats being taken seriously. when the, those when boy used ups playing games will stop to them. the paris government intervenes, it can gets a call from deputy mayor a mon with connect wire i much, i have no contact with the 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 re mr. greg why there is no risk. ok, heavy in the we and so the day will companies have to come and negotiate. so the boys can work again to see to, to get this whole part. are you after occupying the site for a 2nd time, the workers are successful within a few hours. the granted the meeting they asked for the

done as the 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 undocumented walk, as especially if they've been working for these companies in france for many years . all, don't they don't know normal that as well because they still don't have policies and don't have legal status. so we're determined to support them. jones now and in the future. exactly. if i need only only for jill, the key 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 the legal status applications for the 14 undocumented workers who had 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. yeah. for them just with administer for the authorities and the police company. and it really was scary. they go after the strategies 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, but they don't actually do anything right now. if you a random one that we don't want money, is it going to be once the work determines the health insurance?

so we're demanding. what's rightfully ours is not going to be money. that's 5 years and 155 and coins. thank you. i've seen he feels especially lonely in legal during ramadan amenities that 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 know if he has a construction site and mercy. i'll go there to the accepted arguments. so we'll accept his abdullah, 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. 18. 0, do you have any questions about it yourself? so to see, i think everything was fine, but really the people are due for the okay. if you get an appointment and you have to let us know right away continuing, continue, then one of us can go with you to the prefecture, so you'll be safe. thanks called by the height of what the deal is. is it possible? correct? no. okay. you go and how are things going in leo, a new

a new civil leon 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 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'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, so right. i told you the cars are others on your side 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. all i need me in a he says, will come managed, but i think he's scared of his team leader to because it's the bosses cousin and see if they keep exclusively to sit 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. 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, pos, 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 date one is hopefully we'll get results sooner. we're on the so the receipt you see on 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 if they did, they'd have to fire and to port all the workers in the restaurant industry and say, hey, this is say to the time i asked you some time or i've slice you without them. half of the restaurants would probably have to close to for the money to participants. you need sophie so the only solution is legal status through work. the youngest. oh sorry you're celebrating with family this evening. but i from the end of ramadan, the 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 older than i have children. yes. with a nice party been fed. yes. very soon.

we ask week some questions about what happened? the company's press spokesperson beth and your mind sent us this statement. we accuse is some of the striking markers of identity theft or forgery, saying that and 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 authorities to check id cards. there will be specific clauses in contracts with sub contractors intended to guarantee the 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, its hosted several concerts and basketball games of done as he is, continues to work in new york and remains in contact with the janine law group. and we say can the, 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 coat you can't get foreign language. so without realty on the phone with i've done that as ease not to do has something to report. no, there's good news. the prefecture it's, and now you're looking at the applications of 2 of your colleagues and 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 of done 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 this video changed the world. it shows us soldiers killing civilians in the rock more often posting. it's. jillian assaults became a wanted man. 14 years nature. the we can expound is fine to the street. the general is traces the stories of a soldier under survivor, off the attack. they speak to each other for the 1st time. you are hard to forget. but the follies don't think that i carry any resentment or a grudge in my heart towards a captivating story about this struggle for forgiveness and truth.

guardians of trees. julian, his sons, and the dark secrets of war starts july 27th. on d, w. the an elephant in the cross hairs. western conservationist bitterly criticized the elephant hunt in africa. this is not well received. what's want as president msc calls it, white interference, or if anybody to come and tell us how to manage them and the management hunting when it being so successful at the conservation botswana has more elephants than any other countries. it is a conservation success story but often brings dramatic consequences with it.
