Produktbeschreibung
In UK, the problem faced by Overseas Domestic Workers is complicated by the hostile immigration policy and exclusion clauses in the employment law. Despite the ODWs having been exposed to a series of abuses, exploitations, and occupational health and safety hazards like other workers, they are unduly excluded from the protection and benefits available to those workers. This book used a combined doctrinal and empirical approach to examine failed immigration policies, ambiguities in the employment law, exclusion clauses in the health and safety law etc. Also, it argues that although ODWs' personal attributes, may constitute a vulnerability risk, ODWs' experiences are marred by the current visa system that increases their reliance on employers and has significantly tilted the employeremployee power in the employer's favour, leading to continued abuse, exploitation, injustice, human trafficking, and modern-day slavery. This book advocates a review of the policy on ODWs, a re-examination of the strict link between immigration and employment, and a review of the law on employment discrimination. Finally, the book found a link between culture, ethnicity, and exploitation.
