《卫报》联合 Investigate Europe 的调查显示，随着数千个数据中心在欧洲各地兴建，部分建筑工人正暴露于危险的劳动条件、剥削及不敢发声的困境中。1 报道以比利时圣吉兰（Saint-Ghislain）一处大型谷歌数据中心工地为例，指出电气测试工人在缺乏防护装备的情况下被迫超时工作，且因拒绝额外任务而面临被解雇的风险。1
在具体的案例中，34岁的电气测试员 Sandu* 在已工作近10小时后，于轮班结束前15分钟接到最后时刻的任务指令。1 尽管存在安全隐患，但由于防护服锁在设备间，取用需往返增加15分钟，Sandu* 决定不穿防护服直接作业。1 该工地存在一种胁迫机制，正如文中所述，“人们因为说‘不’而被解雇”（People have been fired after saying no）。1
A joint investigation by The Guardian and Investigate Europe has revealed that construction workers across Europe face dangerous working conditions, exploitation, and a culture of fear as thousands of new data centres are built on the continent 1. The findings highlight how laborers involved in this rapid infrastructure expansion often lack adequate safety protections and hesitate to speak out against mistreatment due to the threat of losing their jobs 1.
The report details specific incidents at a large Google data centre construction site in Saint-Ghislain, Belgium, where 34-year-old electrical tester Sandu* experienced severe workplace pressure 1. On one occasion, Sandu received last-minute instructions for an additional task just 15 minutes before the end of a shift during which he had already worked for nearly 10 hours 1. Although protective suits were available, they were locked in a separate equipment room, requiring a 15-minute round trip to retrieve them; consequently, Sandu decided to perform the work without wearing the necessary gear 1. This case exemplifies a broader coercive environment at such sites, with workers noting that "People have been fired after saying no" when asked to undertake extra or unsafe tasks 1.
