The trade union confederation TUC has produced an online guide to help combat the exploitation of migrant workers. The guide, ‘Working in the UK’, available in Polish, Romanian, Bulgarian, Hungarian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Slovakian, Russian, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, French and English provides workers with information and guidance on crucial issues such as pay, employment contracts, working hours, sick pay, and health and safety. It also explains how trade unions help workers deal with mistreatment, such as bogus self-employment or non-payment of the minimum wage, and bargain for better pay and conditions.
