Queenstown migrant workers exploited and struggling

From Morning Report, 7:44 am on 15 June 2023

A group of migrant workers in Queenstown are struggling because their employers aren't giving them the promised working hours.

Accredited employers are required to give workers a minimum of 30 hours per week, but in some cases that isn't happening.

Tracy Pool is the manager of the Queenstown Citizens Advice Bureau - she says workers are struggling to pay their rent and fear losing their accommodation.

She spoke with Ingrid Hipkiss.
