'No benefits, no fair pay': International students stripped of $3.18 billion in annual wages

Informações:

Synopsis

Australia’s largest survey into migrant working conditions has exposed alarming evidence of widespread and systemic wage underpayment. The report, released by the Migrant Justice Initiative, found that two-thirds of migrant workers are earning less than their legal entitlements under the Fair Work Act, while international students alone are losing an estimated $3.18 billion in unpaid wages each year. Researchers say the findings also shed important new light on the tactics employers are using to hide and perpetuate workplace exploitation.
