Lithuania warns of widespread exploitation of foreign workers
Trade unions and anti-human-trafficking organisations in Lithuania are warning about widespread exploitation of foreign workers. The warnings come as the number of migrants in the country rises.
In Lithuania, where the number of migrants is growing, trade unions and organisations that fight human trafficking are raising the alarm about widespread exploitation of foreign workers. The report comes from LRT, Lithuania's public broadcaster, and was relayed by Latvia's LSM.
Two types of groups have spoken out: trade unions, which represent employees, and organisations working against human trafficking. In their assessment, the problem is not a handful of isolated cases but a broad phenomenon affecting foreign labour.
The warnings follow the rise in the number of migrants in Lithuania. The source text gives no further details on specific cases, sectors or figures.
