SIPTU to name and shame firms exploiting immigrants

ONE of the largest unions in the country is set to publish a list of companies and recruitment agencies they claim are exploiting immigrant employees.

SIPTU has been carrying out research on a number of professions in recent weeks and has collected a range of case studies of workers who are being exploited. This will be published in the next fortnight.

Last week the issue was highlighted when it emerged that agency workers employed at Musgrave distribution centre in Dublin were earning almost half what the company’s own employees get.
