Paris 2024: Migrants file lawsuit against Vinci, Eiffage, Spie Batignolles, GCC & 8 subcontractors over irregular work status while on Olympic venues
Following reports of undocumented workers working to construct venues for the 2024 Paris Olympics, 10 of the workers have filed a case against Vinci, Eiffage, Spie BAtignolles and GCC over alleged labour exploitation, including being employed while undocumented and once regulated continuing to work without contracts, pay slips, paid holidays or overtime. Eight subcontractors are also the target of the case.
