"There is modern slavery happening right now."
Migrant care workers are told to stay silent, accept poor treatment and endure exploitation because they are tied to a single employer.
It's a system that traps workers with abusive employers.
We need a better way. #FairVisasNow

Every day, public service workers show up for us π
Now it's the government's turn to show up for public services.
Invest more. Insource now. Pay fair.
