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”.
