Exploited migrant workers fight for justice
Seasonal migrant farm workers came to the UK from Chile to pick fruit for one of the country’s biggest berry producers, only to face debt, racial abuse, and exploitation.
When they tried to seek justice, their case was dismissed — not because it lacked merit, but because they missed a three-month tribunal deadline. They were homeless, undocumented, and traumatised, yet the system still said “too late.
UVW supports their appeal
With the support of United Voices of the World, the workers are appealing to the Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) to challenge this cruel and arbitrary rule. Winning this appeal would set a vital precedent for all victims of exploitation, ensuring that exploitative bosses cannot rely on arbitrary deadlines to escape accountability.
