Laisvės TV investigation shows that one of the most important areas of the Lithuanian economy - the freight transport business - is based on immigrant exploitation. This story is about long-haul drivers.
There are about 77,000 long-haul drivers working in Lithuania, but hardly any of them are Lithuanians. About 90% of the truckers are immigrants from the so-called 'third countries' - Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan or even India.
Believing the promises that Lithuanian businesses make about high wages and good working conditions, these people save up and come to Lithuania to make money. But once they become employed, they get trapped in the exploitation and tax evasion schemes created by our carriers.
During the four-month investigation, Laisvės TV collected testimonies, expert opinions and documents. The drivers we interviewed work for different Lithuanian companies, and their experiences are also different. However, they are all connected by one thing - they all talk about the exploitation they have experienced in our country. Even comparing it to slavery.
