The new Comparative Working Paper Neglect or Protect Migrant Workers in Court? from the Horizon Europe project DignityFIRM has been published. Among the authors, we highlight Irene Ponzo and Eleonora Celoria (FIERI).
Abstract
This comparative paper examines how courts in Italy, Poland, Germany, and the Netherlands shape the living and working conditions of migrant workers in farm‑to‑fork sectors, focusing on how judicial interpretation either restricts or expands the protection of migrant workers’ rights. Within the broader DignityFIRM project—which studies the regulatory infrastructures governing migrants’ access to rights—the paper highlights the essential yet uneven role courts play within interconnected legal domains such as labour law, migration law, housing regulations, and workplace safety.
