In July 2022, Belgian police discovered 174 illegally employed workers at a factory owned by Borealis, an Austrian multinational and chemical manufacturer. Most of the workers were Turkish and Bangladeshi, 65 were Filipinoโฆ
โฆthe Filipinos were severely underpaid, earning โฌ8.50 (P512) an hourโฆ
โฆ The company denies any wrongdoing and blames the Italian manpower agency and subcontractor IREM groupโฆ
โฆthe Filipinos were recruited to work in Belgium by IREM and another subcontractor, Raj Bhar Engineeringโฆ
โฆThe workers, owed months of back-pay for the legally-mandated wages of around โฌ8500 (P517,556), are at risk of being forgottenโฆ
When asked who his previous employers were, he pointed to the printed logo on the jacket โ it said Daeshin Construction plantโฆ
A mere US$2.7 (P149) an hour on 10-hour shifts was not the income he hoped for, especially after paying an P80,000 placement fee to recruitment agency VFG Internationalโฆ
Many of the workers were recruited through Raj Bhar EngineeringโฆOn its website, the company lists IREM SPA and two other IREM group subsidiaries as partners.
The Filipino and Bangladeshi workers point to the IREM group as the main culpritโฆ
A month after the Borealis scandalโฆpolice discovered 58 Filipino workers illegally employed by German chemical producer BASFโฆ
