About this grant

Call for proposals to establish a single, large-scale transnational initiative focused on supporting fair labor mobility. With a total budget of €1.2M, this action intends to fund one comprehensive project that will run for 12 to 18 months. The initiative aims to facilitate access to essential information and legal entitlements for mobile migrant workers, with a specific emphasis on high-risk sectors such as construction, international road transport, hospitality, and agriculture. The selected consortium is tasked with a dual-track mission of research and practical service expansion: Expansion of Counseling Networks: The project must support and grow a trade union-based network across at least nine countries, including two to four candidate or potential candidate countries. This involves setting up additional centers and providing targeted capacity building for counselors; Research and Analysis: Building on 15 years of existing data, the project will map and evaluate counseling structures in both origin and destination countries. Special attention will be given to the emerging challenges faced by third-country nationals who are posted and working temporarily within the EU; and Individualized Support: Mandatory activities include providing tailored advice for individual cases, which may extend to legal interventions, employer mediation, or referral to specialized lawyers to ensure labor rights enforcement.
