ESA, a Polish company, concluded employment contracts, under Polish law, with 186 workers before posting those workers to its Finnish branch to carry out electrical installation work at the site of the nuclear power station at Olkiluoto in the municipality of Eurajokiin. The workers concerned claimed that ESA had not paid them the minimum remuneration due to them under the universally applicable Finnish collective agreements for the electricity sector and the building technology sector. The ECJ gave them right. The ECJ also stated that compensation for living costs and accommodation does not form part of the minimum wage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>English: \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fcuria.europa.eu\u002Fjcms\u002Fupload\u002Fdocs\u002Fapplication\u002Fpdf\u002F2015-02\u002Fcp150017en.pdf\">http:\u002F\u002Fcuria.europa.eu\u002Fjcms\u002Fupload ... \u003C\u002Fa> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">\u003Cbr\u002F>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">For more information, please contact the editor Jan Cremers, Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Labour Studies (AIAS) \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ca href=\"mailto:cbn-aias@uva.nl\">\u003Cspan color=\"#0567d1\" size=\"2\">cbn-aias@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\"> or the communications officer at the ETUI, Mariya Nikolova \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ca href=\"mailto:mnikolova@etui.org\">\u003Cspan color=\"#0567d1\" size=\"2\">mnikolova@etui.org\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">.
