UK trade unions have urged the government to drop or revise plans that would make many low-paid migrants wait up to 15 years to receive indefinite leave to remain, the Financial Times reported. The unions warned that the proposals could increase worker exploitation and create another staffing crisis in social care.
The Trades Union Congress approved a motion at its annual meeting in Brighton on Monday. It said the proposed settlement rules would leave migrant workers as “second-class citizens” and make them feel “scared” and “alarmed”.
