This issue focuses on work in retail warehouses, a sector where precarious migrant labour is systematically being introduced to break with the existing political composition of the working class: the logistics sector is one of the sectors where workers as individuals are powerless, while the workers’ collectives as a whole hold significant structural power. At the same time, migrant workers describe how employers exploit their unequal legal status as non-EU citizens:

The issue emphasizes migrant workers legal inequality – it is the legal and administrative obstacles which make their position on the labour market specific. It ends with some information about rights migrant workers have in Slovenia. This information can be read as our collective advice on what other migrant workers did when they had a similar problem: https://razrednibroj.si/your-rights/
