On behalf of the association ‘The World Federation of Trade Unions’, on the difficult situation of migrant workers in Foggia, Italia 

Petition addressed to: Petitionsausschuss des Europäischen Parlaments

The petitioner complains about the serious situation affecting many migrants who work in the fields at Rignano, near Foggia, Puglia, in Italy. He criticises the state of neglect of these seasonal migrant workers, who are exploited by landowners and forced to work in inhuman conditions, without union protection, and in deplorable sanitary and health conditions. He calls for an improvement in the conditions of these migrant workers, in particular with regard to accommodation, access to water, sanitation, social security and transport.
