The Casual Workers Advice Office says it has been flooded with calls from migrant workers who were allegedly dismissed, threatened or denied rights as anti-immigration sentiments rise in workplaces. The non-profit organization that provides free legal advice and organizing support to precarious workers says migrant workers were reportedly told not to return on the day of the marches, some receiving termination notices and left without pay or accommodation. The organisation says employers are exploiting the climate to target migrant and vulnerable workers and stressed that immigration status cannot be used to break labour law. We spoke to Andile Nyembezi, from the Casual Workers' Advice Office.
