Are international students who take up part-time work in Groningen taken advantage of? UKrant and local news blog Sikkom are joining forces to investigate workplace exploitation among internationals.
Working in Groningen as an international student can be a positive experience, but some employers take advantage of internationals’ lack of knowledge of local laws. They are underpaid, work in poor conditions or aren’t allowed to take the leave they’re entitled to.
Have you fallen victim to an unscrupulous employer or do you know anyone who has? Are you paid less than your Dutch co-workers? Are you refused a fair paycheck? Are you threatened when you complain? We want to hear your stories.
Fill out our survey here. The results will be published in a series of articles drawing attention to international students’ right to fair treatment at work.
