Agencies,the government has commissioned numerous large construction projects where shady employment agencies exploit foreign workers. The government must post here and stop to this. FNV Bouw writes in a letter to Minister Schultz van Haegen (Traffic).

The union is responding to a TV broadcast of Zembla Wednesday on the Irish employment agency Atlanco Rimec. This subcontractor became discredited in 2013 when it came to light that the company meant 1,000 euros per month on salaries of sixty Portuguese construction workers for travel expenses and accommodation in demolition. The foreign workers were used for tunneling the A2 in Maastricht. This project was commissioned by Rijkswaterstaat, where Minister Schultz van Haegen is the boss.

According Zembla is the controversial Irish company with more projects in question where the government is the client, as Waal project 'i-Lent' in Nijmegen, the construction of the Arnhem Central Station, the A2 and the construction of the North-South line.

,, Unacceptable and worrisome, "says Janna Mud, trade union FNV Bouw driver. The league encounters often on the wrong companies. ,, Workers revolt against exploitation, be sacked. Louche broadcasters stabbing social contributions and holiday pay in their own pocket. The government should really act. ""
