Unions demand help policing minimum wage

Trade unions are demanding more help in policing the minimum wage.

Today is International Day Against Racism, and SIPTU has said employers are continuing to abuse their migrant staff.

The country's biggest union said many foreign workers are not getting their legal minimum of €7 an hour because their bosses are taking too many deductions for living expenses.

SIPTU's Mike Jennings said it's time for the Government to take serious action.
