As well as providing the opportunity for trade union members and the public to show their solidarity and support for migrant workers, the rally will highlight the plight of migrant workers who face other threats to their well being from exploitative employers or others that seek to take advantage of their needs. The trade union movement will also be calling for a structured response from politicians and government agencies to work together with local and migrant community representatives to adequately represent and protect the migrant workers and their families.
