migration

A drop of over 100,000 in net migration over the last year shows that Britain’s labour market is already being reshaped before we leave the EU, and businesses need to start adjusting now to a new era of lower migration, says the Resolution Foundation.

The government now has an opportunity today to enhance workers’ rights, by backing stronger EU rules to prevent exploitation of migrant workers and wage undercutting.

The Trades Union Congress has published Managing migration better for Britain: what the government should be doing now, which proposes practical policies to address the concerns expressed by many voters before and during the EU referendum campaign.

Refugees must to be dealt with as human beings, and the migrant community, including economic migrants, cannot be dismissed “with a wave of the hand,” says top UN official.
