Arbeidsmigrant als wegwerpproduct?

Overview
Migrant workers die due to illness and lose work and often find themselves in a pinch. They do not know their way around the Dutch healthcare system and are hardly helped by employment agencies. For example, many sick employees lose their work and temporary housing and sometimes do not receive benefits. Pointer reconstructs where things went wrong and lets migrants who feel dumped have their say. This year, the judge determined that a temporary worker may no longer be automatically employed in the event of illness. However, it appears that it does not occur regularly. How can it fail so much for the 400,000 people who do poorly paid work here?
