Despite high hopes of a fairer system ahead of the 2024 Olympics in Paris, undocumented workers face a stark reality of broken promises and exploitation. A new report has exposed a concerning trend of inadequate support and protection for these essential contributors to the Games’ success. While organizers have promised improved conditions for those working on construction sites and hospitality, the reality falls short of expectations. This lack of progress leaves undocumented workers vulnerable to wage theft, unsafe working environments, and other forms of exploitation, casting a shadow over the Olympic ideals of equality and social justice.
