Electrocutions, disease and no pay: how workers risk exploitation in Europe’s datacentres

Workers building datacentres in Europe are facing hazardous conditions, including electrocutions and exposure to diseases. They are also being denied fair pay and are living in fear of speaking out against their employers. This exploitation is particularly concerning as thousands of datacentres are being constructed across the continent. The situation has significant implications for workers' rights and the overall economy, as it may lead to a shortage of skilled labour and decreased productivity.

Why it matters

Construction workers in Europe's datacentres face exploitation, including electrocutions and no pay. This could lead to increased scrutiny of labour practices and potential regulatory changes, affecting the construction industry.
