Exploitation at work

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
