THE NETHERLANDS - THE NATIONAL EMPLOYER LABOUR MARKET, WORKERS' RIGHTS VIOLATION AND POSSIBLE INTERVENTIONS

This year's Employment Fair will not fall short of foreign offers

The Netherlands is one of the European Union's countries where Poles often take up employment. Given the local labour market's nature, with job opportunities offered by intermediaries (employment agencies or temporary employment agencies) and seasonal nature of job openings, before obe leaves for the Netherlands, one ought to become familiar with the market realities in order to make a conscious decision with regards to a particular job and its conditions. It is also worth knowing your rights as well as how to react in case you lose a job or when a conflict with your employer arises.

Lecture will give participants an insight into:

• employment and work conditions in the Netherlands;
• the employee's rights and duties;
• possible interventions in case of workers' rights violation
• safe way to prosper for jobs abroad.

 Since September 2014 the speaker; Mrs  Urszula Kozłowska  has been as counsellor for migration policy and social affairs at the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Warsaw. The counsellor works to raise awareness among those who go to the Netherlands - they are informed about the Dutch labour market's specificity, problems Poles may face, the institutions to address in need, where to seek help and support in worker's rights protection. The counsellor also expands national, regional and local experts networks  and supports them with know-how. From 2007 to 2014 Ms. Kozłowska worked in Poland's Ministry of Internal Affairs' Prevention of Human Trafficking team.
