LABOUR Danish employers allowed to pay Ukrainian nationals lower wages In March 2022, the Danish government enacted a special law that grants Ukrainians temporary protection status and exempts them from the need to earn a minimum salary, which is otherwise required for third-country nationals to get a residence permit in Denmark. Despite being framed as a tool to facilitate access to residency for this group, Danish employers can now offer wages to Ukrainians below those negotiated in the collective bargaining agreements, especially in the agri-food sector where most Ukrainians in Denmark already work. Reports now show job advertisements on Facebook (in Ukrainian) offering jobs for less than 7 euros per hour, far lower than their entitlements under the collective bargaining agreement. New guide to defend rights of undocumented workers PICUM published a new guide that sets out the rights of undocumented workers under international and EU law, and references relevant case law from the EU Court of Justice and the European Court of Human Rights. Issues addressed include wage theft, excessive working hours, confiscation of documents, workplace discrimination, unsafe working conditions and labour accidents, human trafficking, and forced labour. This guide seeks to support and promote the use of existing legal frameworks to claim the rights of undocumented workers, as well as work to reform problematic laws and address gaps in implementation.
