PAPI Vlăsineşti and Hudeşti organise info sessions for people with temporary jobs abroad
03.02.2011
Locals in Vlăsineşti and Hudeşti had the opportunity of talking to a delegation from France on the topic of workforce migration and temporary jobs in EU countries, through meetings organised at the local PAPI centres.
The French delegation was composed of leaders of the PAYSAN Confederation as well as representatives of the Union of Agricultural Workers in Spain, Italy, Portugal and France. The meetings in the two KEP communities was part of a campaign called “Temporary workers in Europe”. People learned about the rights of casual laborers, the problems of Romanians working in Europe’s farms, as well as the evolution of European farming, which has seen a decrease in the number of small farmers, an increase in the number of temporary workers and in intensive farming.
“The session at PAPI Vlăsineşti was extremely useful for the audience since the commune has many people working abroad. The local economy simply doesn’t offer any jobs”, Lora Cîrligeanu, the manager RECL of Vlăsinești, explains.
The administrator of RECL Hudeşti Vlad Cârdei says that “the meeting at PAPI Hudeşti was very useful. There are over 6,000 people in Hudeşti, and the commune is far from urban centres, so people can’t commute for jobs. Under these circumstances, many are working abroad or want to do so”.
