Session information

Foreign workers’ rights

Thursday 6 November (1430 - 1545)

Committee(s)

Immigration and Nationality Law Committee (Lead)

Description

This session will discuss: are foreign workers sufficiently protected against dismissal in relation to national workers?  What about social rights, if they are taking leave or fall ill, or a salary cut for unpaid leave, will that impact on their visa? If so, does that constitute discrimination? Is it compliant with worker’s protection laws? This on all levels, i.e. blue collar workers and HSM’s alike.
