During the last months, unions, NGOs and labour inspectors have uncovered cases of labour abuse and exploitation in a number of sectors, including agriculture, garment, cleaning, gig economy and domestic work.
As the lockdown eases and more people start going back to work, it is vital that workers have access to information about their rights and know where to seek help if they experience problems at work.
For this reason, FLEX has partnered with the Greater London Authority (GLA) to produce an information video about where workers can report:
- underpayment of minimum wage
- problems with employment agencies
- unsafe, abusive or exploitative working conditions, including modern slavery offences
As well as where they can seek support with:
- understanding their employment rights in the UK
- reporting issues at work if they don’t speak English
- accessing immigration and employment advice via free, independent and confidential organisations
FLEX has collaborated with partners to translate this video into eleven languages, making it available in: English, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Polish, Hungarian, Romanian, Romanes, Hindi, Bahasa Indonesia and Tagalog.
