zrní

Zrní is a term used in Central and Eastern Europe, particularly in the Czech Republic, to refer to outsourced labor or migrant workers, often from other European countries or from countries in the Balkan region.

Historically, the term has been associated with the migration of workers from Poland, Ukraine, and Belarus to the Czech Republic, where they were employed in various sectors such as agriculture, construction, and manufacturing. These workers were often employed to perform labor-intensive tasks, such as harvesting or cleaning, that local companies were reluctant to perform themselves.

The term Zrní, which roughly translates to "sprinkled" or "scattered," is thought to have originated from the way these migrant workers were seen as being scattered across various industries and regions within the country. The term is often used to describe individuals who are not part of the permanent workforce and are instead hired on a temporary or seasonal basis.

The Zrní phenomenon has raised concerns about labor rights and the conditions under which these migrant workers are employed. Critics have argued that these workers are often subjected to poor working conditions, low wages, and inadequate social protection. In response to these concerns, governments and civil society organizations have implemented measures to improve the working conditions and rights of migrant workers in these countries.

The use of the term Zrní has also been criticized for perpetuating negative stereotypes and associating migrant workers with menial or unskilled labor. Advocates argue that the term can help raise awareness about the issue of outsourced labor and highlight the need for greater protections and rights for migrant workers.
