Complaints by Spanish workers who are say they are being exploited by Dutch employers have been brought to the attention of the European parliament ahead of this week’s debate about a new European Labour Authority which connects national labour inspectorates, the Financieele Dagblad reports. Complaints from Spanish workers, presented to the European parliament at the invitation of the ruling socialist party PSOE last week, include fewer working hours than initially promised, poor living and working conditions and contracts promising a fixed monthly wage that turn out to be zero hour contracts. ‘Young Spaniards are often given the completely wrong information,’ María Bruquetas of Spanish council for Spanish nationals in the Netherlands told the paper. ‘They are promised a minimum wage of €1,600 a month but they are not told that they will never get that on their zero hour contracts and that high fixed costs are also subtracted from what is already a poor wage.’

We don't need foreign workers as long as still have a 3.4% unemployment rate. They can always return home and find work in Spain. No wait: 13.9% in February (but that's for Spain to solve: we helped them by ordering trains from CAF and some other things). I do believe that we need to get rid of zero hour contracts though as they undercut honest labour and were specifically created to undercut Dutch unionised labour.
