Pacific Island Council president Ema Vueti believes seasonal workers ‘get into trouble as they are not aware of the laws in relation to work in Australia and New Zealand.
Vueti said people going for seasonal work in the two countries are not aware of the labour laws in the two countries.
She said there were some pre-departure briefings between the seasonal workers, government and employees that need to be relooked at.
“A lot of our workers coming to work in Australia and New Zealand are not aware of the laws in relation to working in these countries,” she said.
