👨⚕️ In a rare ruling, an Indian nurse has won a payout from a British company in a case that could spur other migrant workers to pursue claims against unscrupulous bosses. Kirankumar Rathod was left in financial dire straits after a care company hired him, failed to give him work and then fired him. In a landmark ruling, his former employer was ordered to pay him £17,000 in backpay and continue to pay his contracted wage until his employment tribunal concludes. "It shows that redress is possible for the many people who have been wronged by the way the visa scheme has been operated," Rathod's solicitor Sarmila Bose of the Work Rights Centre told Context. ✍️ Emma Batha reports 🔗 https://lnkd.in/e7GXET_E

People retreated to their homes and air-conditioned offices. But gig workers had no choice but to power on. Climate change has made the working lives of hundreds of thousands of gig workers in Vietnam harder and more dangerous. Now, many are banding together to help their communities cope. Watch the second episode of Gig Workers Rising, a video collaboration from Context Newsroom and Rest of World, presented by Lam Le: https://lnkd.in/eFcAKaai
