Labor Pressed to Pass Law Halting Migrant Worker Exploitation
Media release | Wednesday, August 2 The federal government is being urged to write into law an ironclad guarantee that migrant workers who report employer exploitation will not have their visas cancelled. In a report to be launched at parliament today, Unions NSW – along with the Migrant Justice Institute, Migrant Workers Centre, Human Rights Law Centre and Immigration Advice and Rights Centre – have teamed up to call for the introduction of an "exploited worker guarantee". The alliance of unions, lawyers and migrant rights groups say this guarantee must be accompanied by a specific "workplace justice visa" to protect against deportation while migrants seek advice and pursue action against exploitative employers.
