📅 24 October 2023 📍 France

As part of coordinated action by more than 800 undocumented workers, 100–150 construction workers occupied the Arena at Porte de la Chapelle while hundreds of others picketed employment agencies. Basta! reported that workers sought regularization and challenged subcontractors’ claims that they were not responsible for labor conditions. The action linked the celebrated Olympic construction project to migrant labor, precarious contracts and the demand for papers independent of an employer.
