Standing Up for Fair Work

1. Your first step could be to contact the local migrant workers' support group to get accurate, confidential advice about your rights and your co-workers’ concerns. You could also attend the nearby session with the trade union organiser to learn more about workplace protections, how to raise issues safely, and how unions can support collective action.
2. Speaking privately to the advice group or union can help you understand whether the factory is breaking any employment laws (e.g. unpaid wages, missing holiday pay). You may choose to keep your identity anonymous at first to reduce personal risk.
3. If others at work share your concerns, you might explore forming a small group to raise issues together, which can offer more protection than acting alone. You could also help by sharing trusted information with co-workers or encouraging others to seek advice.
4. If the situation is serious or illegal, the support group or union can help you report the problem safely to employment regulators. Ultimately, taking informed action — even small steps — can help protect your own rights and empower others in your workplace.
