The POSTCARE 2.0 project focuses on the posting of workers in the European labor market, including third-country nationals. The number of posted workers has significantly increased, reaching over 4.5 million in 2019. However, the information schemes available for non-EU national posted workers are less developed compared to EU citizens. The COVID-19 crisis has further complicated the world of work for third-country national posted workers due to travel restrictions and other measures.
The project aims to provide information and support to improve the employment conditions of third-country nationals. It focuses on areas such as secure and adaptable employment, wages, employment conditions, protection in case of dismissals, social dialogue, and involvement. The overall objective is to contribute to the implementation of the key principles of the EU Pillar of Social Rights in the posting of workers across EU Member States. The project will develop information and advisory forms, provide consultancy services, and establish Information Centers. It will also organize various meetings, workshops, and an online platform to exchange information. The project includes the implementation of a dedicated panel during the European Labour Mobility Congress in 2023.
