It was unique in the GFMD agenda, being the only side event organized by civil society organizations (<a href=\"https:\/\/mfasia.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Migrant Forum in Asia<\/a> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.global-unions.org\/?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Council of Global Unions<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Framing the issue, event chair William Gois of Migrant Forum in Asia emphasized that the issue of wage theft is \u201cnot about charity or humanitarian provision; it\u2019s about wages that have been earned by and are due to workers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gois noted the lack of data to support effective policy responses in this area. His analysis was echoed in the appeal to civil society by Ellene Sana of the <a href=\"https:\/\/centerformigrantadvocacy.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Center for Migrant Advocacy<\/a> to \u201cdo our homework\u201d by collating and disseminating data evidencing instances of wage theft and non-payment of benefits. Gois agreed that data collection will not be a short-term task but is a crucial step in ensuring that the issue can move beyond the case level and be dealt with more systematically. Lara White of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iom.int\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">International Organization for Migration<\/a> similarly highlighted how better data collection could improve understanding of the root causes of wage theft, noting \u201cit could be business failure, it could be opportunism, or both; we just don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gois also identified the lack of collective representation and freedom of association of many migrant workers as barriers, both to understanding the phenomena of wage theft at a systemic level and for migrant workers to obtain legal remedy.&nbsp; While acknowledging insufficient data, Ryszard Cholewinski of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iom.int\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">International Labour Organization<\/a> described how many wage complaints are collective in their nature, often involving hundreds or thousands of workers employed by the same company. He highlighted how such cases are best resolved through robust worker representation and collective bargaining, both of which are limited for migrant workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cTake the opportunity to do things the right way \u2013 this cannot again be a race to the bottom.\u201d<\/p><cite>Ellene Sana, Center for Migrant Advocacy<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Several speakers highlighted the need to consider wage theft and non-payment of benefits in the wider context of the multiple challenges faced by migrant workers. Cholewinski outlined how legal redress for non-payment is \u201ctied up with the need to provide fundamental human rights and labor rights to migrant workers,\u201d and the challenges for access to justice where these rights are not guaranteed. Sana noted the lack of legal clarity for undocumented migrant workers waiting for wages in country of destination, and the need for \u201cwhole-of-society and whole-of-government approaches\u201d that ensure social protection for undocumented migrant workers while they seek legal redress. Hanspeter Wyss of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eda.admin.ch\/sdc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation<\/a> similarly highlighted the absence of social protection for many migrant workers, and their subsequent intensified vulnerability due to COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hon. Barrister Shameem Haider Patwary, Member of the Bangladeshi Parliament, Bangladesh, highlighted the lack of an international mechanism to register and pursue cases of non-payment of wages and benefit. He highlighted the benefits of a transnational approach, including for issues such as compensation, and the crucial nature of longer-term support for migrant workers returning to countries of origin following wage theft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sana reminded delegates of the extensive impact on Gulf migrant workers of the 2016 oil price crisis, many of whom were victims of non-payment of wages and end-of-service benefits, and emphasized the benefits of drawing on experiences of this kind to form and advocate for effective contemporary responses, highlighting in particular diplomatic representations by countries of origin in support of wage and benefit payment. She concluded by highlighting the importance of engaging governments via existing frameworks for dialogue, urging delegates to \u201ctake the opportunity to do things the right way \u2013 this cannot again be a race to the bottom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Photo: <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/s\/photos\/sharon-mccutcheon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Sharon McCutcheon<\/em> <em>on Unsplash<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Better data, concerted international action and social protection identified as key in fight against wage and benefit theft.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2730,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[53,3],"tags":[57],"class_list":["post-2766","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gfmd-2020","category-news","tag-labor-migration-governance"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
