What is exploitation at work?
This is when another person mistreats you at work. Some examples include:
- underpayment
- not being paid at all
- discrimination because of race, religious or political beliefs
- bullying or harassment
- threatening behaviour
- working in an unsafe environment
If the exploitation is very serious, it might be considered modern slavery. Examples of this include when you:
- are forced to work and are not free to stop working or leave your workplace
- lose your freedom and ability to make your own choices
