We're outside the European Parliament this morning to call for an end to abuse in subcontracting and end gangmaster practices.

We helped the European Parliament Meet THE PICKERS π
At our event last week we spotlighted the need to protect migrant workers, ensure fair pricing, strengthen social conditionality and deliver dignity across agriculture in Europe.

Yesterday in Brussels, Maria Noichl, MEP, and Ivan Ivanov ( @effat.org ) spoke at the screening of THE PICKERS at CinΓ©ma Aventure.

The #backtothefuture march ended last night with a bang.
But today it is The Pickers screening at CinΓ©ma Aventure, in Brussels, at 19:00.
We will be joined by Ivan Ivanov from @effat.org and Maria Noichl for a discussion afterwards.
