A “double discrimination”. That’s it! what undocumented workers experience, victims of precariousness; administrative and of their kind, have denounced this Friday several unions. The government has opened the door to a new way of regularization with its proposal to create a residence permit “stress jobs” for undocumented workers, as part of its immigration bill due in early 2023.
In this context, “the situation of women is doubly fragile,” in a joint declaration the inter-union CGT, FO, CFDT, FSU, CFE-CGC, CFTC and Solidaires of the department of Seine-Saint-Denis. This precariousness, according to the unions, stems from the fact that undocumented workers “ compulsory part-time is legion (…) and undeclared work widespread, “making it difficult if not impossible” their regularization under the 2012 circular known as “Valls”.

“Special consideration should be given to women workers, whose eligibility is not guaranteed. to a number of criteria is more difficult,” trade unions. Especially since these women are recruited “by dark circuits in order to be able to exploit them with impunity” Jean-Albert Guidou, of the CGT.
