An inside look at work conditions, recruitment cost and deteriorating labour relations in a corner of the hospitality industry.
Food, prizes, dancing and chopping off hands at TWC2's International Migrants Day commemoration
TWC2 submitted a report to the UN on the ways in which digital technology has affected the rights and social protection of migrant workers
Rafiqul was denied work injury compensation by MOM. TWC2 had to find him a pro-bono lawyer to argue his case at the Labour Court. We won, reversing MOM's unfair decision.
MOM takes issue with our Noodles and Bean Curd article. But MOM's rebuttal is merely a demand that we accept their interpretation as Truth.
Two workers in quick succession come by and share with us the absurdities of migrant worker lives. But beneath the hilarity lurks the beast that devours all: recruitment cost.
A Chinese worker showed us videos of the bakery where he was employed. We were mortified. He was determined to bring the matter to light. Thank goodness for his courage.
Murugesan went to MOM to complain about unpaid salary. For months thereafter, he thought that the officer there would be helping to recover his owed wages. In fact, MOM was investigating something, but whatever it was, it didn’t necessarily include getting his wages back for him. TWC2 had to help him get his salary case back on track.
Billal is thrown into confusion when he hears that his "boss not accept" his injury. He was clearly injured and was taken by an ambulance to a hospital. How can this be not accepted?
Mohatab showed TWC2 two IPA documents he had in hand. Both named him as the worker and had the same dates. But the employers were different as were the salary details. Another scam!
