Attracting people from outside the EU to fill its acute labour shortages is not a "fair" solution for workers, European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) general secretary Esther Lynch has told EUobserver in an interview, saying the drive to fill employment gaps has to start at home.
"We are absolutely not against labour migration (...) but we don't want to create an exploitative tool in the hands of employers," Lynch said, referring to the EU Talent Pool, an online matching platform to connect non-EU workers with employers.
