Like most people in Belgium, we heard the news about the human trafficking case in the port of Antwerp, involving more than 50 Filipino and Bangladeshi pipefitters working on the Borealis plant site via subcontractor IREM-Ponticelli.
As a human resources company, we completely distance ourselves from such mal-practices. With Multiplan and Manpower Resources of Asia Inc., we work in a 100% legal way: via the Belgian shortage occupations scenario (single permit), with due observance of the strict POEA rules (Philippines Overseas Employment Administration), correct remuneration (normal Belgian hourly wages), good housing and practical support throughout our projects.
