The Fair Work Ombudsman will begin a two-year investigation into the exploitation of migrant clothing workers, as it was concerned some workers had been underpaid and offered no entitlements or workplace protection.
The Australian Textile Clothing and Footwear Union said it knew of thousands of home workers receiving no sick pay and no superannuation and working around the clock for as little as $3 an hour.
Women from Vietnam and China were typically employed as home workers or out workers by clothing companies and not receiving correct entitlements. Ombudsman regulators will begin visiting 1,000 clothing and footwear retailers, wholesalers and distributors to check that they had complied with the law.
