An array of events and activities taking place across the EU between 20 and 24 September will raise awareness of seasonal workers’ rights and employers’ responsibilities.
The Commission launched the first European campaign for declared work. It will work hand in hand with the European Platform tackling undeclared work and the European Labour Authority.
