Denmark -Recruitment of migrant labour analysed -August 17, 2015

According to a report from the Economic Council of the Labour Movement (ECLM), the vast majority of workers arriving from central and eastern Europe (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovenia, Romania and Bulgaria) work for a select group of companies within the agriculture and service industries. A small group of companies (1% of the country’s total) is responsible for hiring close to two-thirds of the newly arrived labour force. The ECLM was founded in 1936 as a forum for trade union leaders and representatives of the parliamentary group of the Social Democratic Party.
