Summary
Starting mid-2028, Dutch slaughterhouses and meat plants will ban the use of temporary agency workers — a move targeting migrant laborers from Eastern Europe who’ve long faced unstable conditions. Over a third of the 37,000 workers in the sector are agency-hired, often ending up homeless when contracts expire. The government’s mandate pushes for direct employment by June 2028, giving companies time to adapt, while also launching public consultation — echoing Germany’s successful model — to ensure safer, more stable lives for workers.
