Ministers plan to extend sanctions against companies who breach employment rights like the minimum wage and who repeatedly flout visa rules


The article from The Standard discusses the UK government's efforts to combat the exploitation of foreign workers through visa system reforms. Labour MP Seema Malhotra has highlighted the need for stricter regulations to prevent abuses within the visa framework, particularly focusing on sectors like care work where exploitation is prevalent. The government has introduced measures to ensure that employers cannot undercut wages or exploit workers by tying them to specific jobs with poor conditions. These reforms aim to protect migrant workers from being exploited while also ensuring that the UK remains an attractive destination for skilled international talent. The article also touches on the broader implications of migration policy, with calls for a balanced approach that supports economic growth while safeguarding workers' rights.
