Temporary workers in danger: Missing at accommodation in the district of Kleve revealed!

For cross-border controls of temporary agency accommodation in the district of Kleve, German and Dutch authorities have discovered alarming grievances! Due to serious defects, several buildings had to be closed in whole or in part, as the "New Ruhr/Neue Rhein Zeitung" reports. The checks covered shocking violations of fire protection regulations and unreasonable living conditions, including mold and defective heating. Criminal proceedings for endangering accommodation are already underway.

A total of 20 criminal complaints, including for rental growers, were reimbursed. In addition, investigations against ten temporary agents are underway in the Netherlands, while seven tax criminal proceedings were initiated in both countries. Most temporary workers live in Germany while they are employed in the Dutch meat industry. "Our mission against rental funds continues: be careful, clear up, tidy up," said the clear message of the NRW building minister Ina Scharrenbach (CDU). Municipalities now have the power to rigorously act against black sheep of this industry, reports www.aachener-zeitung.de .
