“Migrant workers make a huge contribution to public services and society through their hard work and tax contributions. They should be welcomed and treated with respect, not punished for the government’s failure to fund public services properly.”

Christine McAnea of trade union Unison on Sunak's divisive proposal to part-fund public sector pay rises by hiking fees to immigrants (for visa applications and NHS access).

Trade union Unison has written to the social care minister, accusing social care operators of “shocking abuse” of migrant workers, who are allegedly being forced to pay back thousands of pounds in recruitment fees, housed in substandard accommodation & asked to work 80-hour weeks.

“These practices have no place in a modern society....This makes the case for why a national care service, that mirrors the , is needed so urgently”

The has been tainted by FIFA corruption, brutal exploitation of cnn.it/3FqyGWQ, and heavy-handed stifling of protests.
Against this backdrop, it's important to remember the courage of the people who nevertheless speak out: the German , whose hand-on-mouth dissent was eloquent; the football team, whose silence spoke loudly; and players like , who express their support for + people .. bit.ly/3Vq3ah0

What good is it to bring awareness to & expose the atrocities committed & in for the if at the end of it you still watch & cheer as if nothing is going on? That might be more depraved than the oppressors. I am appalled you participated. tube.fede.re/videos/watch/4996

"Without immigration, this country would not function. It saddens me to see their ongoing contributions taken for granted. Recently, much has been said about British reliance on migrant labour. Much of this migrant labour..is cheap, which undercuts & lowers wages for all. However, we will not end cheap labour by dividing workers and belittling migrants’ countless contributions"

@JanKooy I was sad + glad to hear that he + his writers included U.S. in the list of so many countries with hypocritical ethical and human rights abuses, especially to make way for big sports money. Atlanta Olympics, anyone?

The second wave, a direct consequence of govt bungling--by first locking up millions of at 4-hr notice, doing nothing while they lost jobs, ran out of food, and then sending them back shambolically & letting infection run rampant--is firmly upon us twitter.com/IndiaSpend/status/

Robbing the poor to pay one man's vanity project. That's what this is. L&T not paying salaries to migrant workers but instead donating to diyar leader's vanity fund.

RT @thelede_in@twitter.com

1,600 , mainly from N India, employed by L&T at IIT-H (Kandi, Sangareddy district in Telengana) protesting against non-payment of wages. They were ignored in lockdown, not provided food and proper accommodation. They were demanding the company to send them home.
