Die Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung SH präsentiert: Ausbeutung auf Bestellung mit dem Auto Johannes Greß

In the organizer's words:

In Austria, Hungarian parcel deliverers work up to 17 hours a day and Syrian food delivery workers work for six euros an hour. In recent years, more than a dozen Romanian forestry workers have died in Austria's forests and Indian cleaners have complained of sexual assault while cleaning the homes of undocumented diplomats and professors. The people affected are united by the fact that they are indispensable for the functioning of Austrian society - and experience inhumane treatment in return. They have no lobby, their voices are marginalized. In recent years, the author has been able to speak to dozens of them and trace how companies in Austria make a profit by exploiting migrants - and we all pay for it. In order to change this, trade unions need to reorganize themselves and find political forms of organization beyond works councils and collective agreements.

Johannes Greß works as a freelance journalist in Vienna and has been researching precarious working conditions and migration for many years. He writes for the ZEIT, DER STANDARD and ORF, among others. He is a member of the FYI collective, an association of six freelance journalists (fyi-kollektiv.at). His book "Ausbeutung auf Bestellung" was recently awarded the "Bruno Kreisky Prize for the Political Book 2024".
