There is wide exploitation of migrant workers across the UK in several industries and such exploitation is possible because migrants often come from vulnerable communities without adequate support and advocacy. This meeting looks at how migrant workers can be exploited in a wide range of industries from care to food processing and from building to the clothes industry. Speaking at this meeting will be
Jack Dromey is a trade unionist and Deputy General Secretary of the Transport and General Workers Union.
Jill Rutter who is Head of Policy, Research and Communications at Refugee and Migrant Justice.
Mohammed Aziz is the founding Chief Executive Officer of the Forum Against Islamophobia and Racism and the British Muslim Research Centre.
We also hope to have a migrant speak to us about his or her exploitation in the labour market.
Some of our speakers are members of The Commission on Vulnerable Employment, which was established by the TUC because of its belief that the well being of any single worker and their family is too important to be left unprotected.
