With the elections in the EU and Austrian parliament, migrant workers are a part of the political agenda. Migrant workers, an important pillar for maintaining the economy, working in essential jobs under the worst working conditions are not recognised as part of society by many locals and right-wing politicians. They are the invisible labor force of our society. This transnational and intergenerational panel discussion aims to give migrant workers a platform for exchange in order to understand how they see themselves and their position in Austrian society. The question that will be raised: How could the different migrant workers in diaspora work together to gain recognition as members of society?
