UN releases report on: Slavery, Canadian-style.

Migrant workers, their employment tied to one employer, are subject to multiple vectors of abuse.

Agricultural workers, home care workers, and more.
Out of sight, out of mind.

❝
Oftentimes, these [inspections] are pre-announced so so that means employers know exactly when they are coming in so what often happens then is that they ask workers to clean the workplace and living their accommodations so they looks perfect and sometimes these workers are sent away so that they do not complain to the labor in specs right so l've heard this this from so many workers so the reality is different from what the government is claiming.

““We want open work permits so workers could have the chance to move to another farm or another job,” Gatica said. “There is no reason the government shouldn’t want to do that. One change would mean they will stop allowing modern day slavery. Because now, work permits are the chains that tie workers to abusive employers.””

On India’s 77th Independence Day, Driven By Poverty, Caste, Millions Of Migrant Workers Live As Modern Slaves

India abolished bonded labour in 1976, but various forms of modern slavery persist, entrapping 11 million, while committees to enforce the law are absent or don’t work, and surveys to identify bonded labour have not been conducted for years. Workers are often beaten, locked up & paid well below minimum wage.

Long, Difficult Process Of Identifying The Dead Prolongs Grief & Horror For Odisha Train-Crash Families — Article 14

Long, Difficult Process Of Identifying The Dead Prolongs Grief & Horror For Odisha Train-Crash Families

A month after a three-train wreck in Balasore, Odisha, killed over 290 people on 2 June, 52 bodies are yet to be identified. As mostly low-income families wait in Bhubaneswar for the result of DNA testing, they sift between two sets of images—those of the mangled faces and bodies they have seen and the smiling ones saved on their phones, some sent minutes before the accident. While their poverty demands they return to work, desperate calls from home ask whether they will soon have the solace of the last rites.

After The Coromandel Train Wreck: Unemployed, Young Migrant Workers Struggling With Health Costs & Lost Wages

From speaking to passengers who survived the 2 June 2023 Balasore train accident in Odisha, a picture emerges of India’s migrant labourers: Many are young, often school dropouts, who travelled long distances to find menial jobs because there was no work at home, on farms or otherwise. Without medical insurance and paid leave, they struggle now with health costs and lost wages.
