Migrant Workers Conference
When is a worker not a worker? When caught in the migrant trap!
At a conference in June 2005 organised by the Institute of Employment Rights, a very informed audience debated recommendations put forward by the Institute on issues surrounding labour migration and employment rights.
The consultative conference was the culmination of six months' work by an Institute Working Group involving academics, lawyers, trade unionists and NGOs. The final step for the project was the launch of a book at a TUC fringe meeting in Brighton on Wednesday 14th September 2005.
