Seasonal worker visa puts migrants at risk on UK farms is the new article of the Open Democracy series on the risks of exploitation for workers on temporary migration programmes.
Valeria Ragni, WSC Centre Manager, outlines how the issues experienced by workers on farms in Scotland arise from the way in which the UK’s seasonal worker visa was designed, creating a fertile environment for exploitation.
Valeria also reflects on the importance of independent worker support and the changes needed right now to improve conditions and reduce the risk of exploitation.
