According to a new report from the labour union Efling, 60% violations of workers’ rights last year have involved foreign workers. These foreign workers often are not familiar with their rights and don’t know that they have to register with a union. Violations include wage and taxes, illegal work and spurious rental contracts. The Icelandic Confederation of Labour has produced several websites that informs foreign workers and warns against abuses, such as social dumping or the use of volunteer work in economically active firms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Read on: in English (1) …   in English (2) …   in English (3) …   in English (4) …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM3\">\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">For more information, please contact the editor Jan Cremers or Sanne van der Gaag, Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Labour Studies (AIAS) \u003Ca href=\"mailto:cbn-aias@uva.nl\">cbn-aias@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fa> or the Head of communications at the ETUI, Willy De Backer \u003Ca href=\"mailto:wdebacker@etui.org\">wdebacker@etui.org\u003C\u002Fa>.
