Surviving labour abuse: a victim's story
Manage episode 303333296 series 2915109
Much of what we've discussed in previous episodes isn't easy to understand unless there's a real life case study to relate to.
For this episode we hear from Raitis who moved to the UK from his native Latvia in 2011. He worked in a number of jobs including fruit picking and construction. Here we find out what happened when someone offered him a job at a roofing company just before Christmas one year.
