2m in low pay trap
Sunday Mirror, May 4, 2008
TWO million workers are trapped in "low-paid and insecure" work, a study will warn this week.
Extracts from a report by union leaders - called Hard Work, Hidden Lives - reveal that disabled people, ethnic minorities, immigrants and young people are among workers mistreated by ruthless bosses who exploit loopholes in the law.
TUC general secretary Brendan Barber said: "The report shows that we have a hidden workforce of people who work in conditions that should have no place in a civilised society. It's a disgrace."
