Disputed space. The working and living conditions ofmigrant workers in the agro-industrial sector of Almería

This report shows that the working and living conditions of agricultural workers in the agricultural sector of the Spanish province of Almería are far from optimal. This is illustrated by the persistence of temporary contracts for permanent jobs, wages well below those stipulated by the collective agreement, declared hours far below actual hours worked, non-payment of overtime, barriers to unionization, extremely harsh working conditions (e.g., exhausting shifts under extreme heat), and widespread substandard housing. Since
exploitation and labour precarity are structural, explanations must go beyond individual accounts and address the root causes.
