Across Europe, the same conclusion is being reached.
Spain, Belgium and Norway have all introduced measures limiting subcontracting chains in public construction projects.
Public money should create quality jobs, not perfect conditions for labour crime and exploitation.

Thanks for the super interesting visit and exchange. Big infrastructure projects need strong protection of workers #fairmobility #qualityjobs #limitsubcontracting. 🇩🇰 as a good example to learn from
Yesterday at Fehmarnbelt, one of Europe’s largest infrastructure projects connecting Denmark and Germany.
EFBWW visited the construction site with MEP @gabischoff.bsky.social and trade union colleagues from both countries.
Cross-border infrastructure needs cross-border protection for workers.

EU Inc. must not become “Letterbox Inc.”
Without proper safeguards, it risks enabling more letterbox companies in construction - reinforcing a pattern we already see: fraud, labour exploitation, social dumping and unfair competition.
Construction must be excluded.

Yet again, inspections by the European Labour Authority exposes widespread fraud and undeclared work on construction sites across Europe.
The problem isn’t a lack of rules, it’s a lack of enforcement.
Workers pay the price.

The question is what public money should reward?
Fair wages, direct employment and safe working conditions?
Or social dumping and labour crime hidden in long subcontracting chains?
EFBWW says: no public money for exploitation.
