Call
Summary
The general objective of this call for proposals is contributing to the implementation of the key EPSR principles in posting and temporary cross-border mobility of third-country nationals. This call for proposals supports the setting up of one single transnational cooperation project/initiative aiming at developing activities by a consortium of relevant stakeholders with a significant and lasting impact on workers, companies, and trade unions. The aim of this action is to support social partners to facilitate the access of mobile migrant workers to essential information on their entitlements.
Detailed Call Description
The objectives are twofold, i.e. firstly the action is designed to carry out research the situation of mobile migrant labour and the impact of assisting counselling structures on the target groups. The analysis needs to include monitoring and evaluation of existing counselling structures in countries of origin and countries of destination, as well as interviews with experts at national and European level. Special focus is to be placed on risk sectors such as international road transport, seasonal work in the hospitality sector and agriculture, the construction sector and the increasing group of posted third-country nationals. The sector-specific needs for counselling and support for the target groups shall be identified and determined. Secondly, action supports the running of a trade union-related transnational counselling network for short-term mobile migrant workers in at least 7 countries. To ensure the representativeness of the monitoring and allow for the evaluation to formulate operational recommendations, this network shall include at least 1 (maximum 3) candidate countries or other third countries. The establishment of new counselling centres is to be supported by targeted capacity building measures.
The results of the action encompass an analysis of the situation and challenges experienced by mobile migrant labour in risk sectors and posted third-country nationals in the European labour market, to be concretely addressed in parallel through the practical implementation and expansion of a transnational counselling network. In addition, an evaluation of the existing counselling services for the target groups and a mapping of the (sector-specific) needs for counselling services should be developed. Based on the findings of the study, recommendations shall be formulated for the preparation of a dedicated initiative for the long-term funding and establishment of a European counselling network for mobile migrant labour.
