They have no social or medical insurance, no unemployment or housing benefits,
no trade unions, no education rights for their children, and no written contracts with employers.
They live in monitored and controlled compounds...must beg permission to go outside.
They sleep in crude dormitory rooms of 20 square metres, usually shared with 15 to 20 workers.
They earn as little as $1 for a 12-hour day, far below the supposed minimum wage.
They work for six or seven days a week, sometimes for days and nights without a break...
More than 70 per cent of migrant workers are owed money by their employers
who hire thugs to assault those who demand their wages.
