Link: TUC at Warsaw Jobs Fair.

Brendan Barber, TUC General Secretary, said: “It’s vital that Poles and other migrant workers know their rights before they come to work in the UK. Otherwise they risk becoming sitting ducks for employers who delight in making money out of exploiting vulnerable workers.”

Tom is a retired international lawyer. He was a partner in a City of London law firm and spent almost twenty years abroad serving clients from all over the world.

“…government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one.”
