Research from Queen's University highlights hazardous conditions confronting migrant strawberry harvesters in Greece's agricultural sector.
Queen’s University researchers have recently drawn attention to the perilous working environment faced by migrant strawberry pickers in Greece. Their study reveals that many migrant workers endure hazardous conditions which pose serious health and safety risks. These findings come amidst ongoing concerns about labor rights and safeguards for overseas workers engaged in seasonal agricultural jobs in Greece. Although official Greek labor authorities have frameworks intended to protect workers, the research indicates gaps in enforcement and oversight. The report emphasizes the need for enhanced protections, rigorous monitoring, and collaborative efforts between governments and agencies to ensure safer, fairer labor practices for migrant agricultural workers in Greece.
