[File Photo]Foreign workers in Fiji are facing exploitation, with some receiving lower wages and poor conditions.
The Ministry of Employment states it is now looking at stronger measures to stop migrant workers from being misled and mistreated.
Director Labour Standards Daniel Tagivakatini says some workers arrive through legal recruitment agencies overseas but the reality changes once they begin employment in Fiji.
MoU with the Indian Government and hopefully we get to other source country like Bangladesh where most of our migrant workers are coming in to see how we can strengthen the migration of workers between the two countries.”
Authorities say exploitation of foreign workers remains a serious concern, as traffickers and illegal operators continue to find new ways to take advantage of vulnerable people.
