Migrant workers say visa changes don't go far enough

A group representing migrant workers says the Government's overhaul of work visas has failed to remove a clause that means they can be treated like modern day slaves. The Government yesterday announced a new employer-led work visa that it says will deal with labour shortages, reduce exploitation and improve conditions for New Zealand workers. But the Migrant Workers Association says the long-awaited changes are a disappointment and don't go far enough.
