With four (4) sessions in for the year so far, our Labour Inspectors are making every effort to ensure that migrant workers are made aware of their labour rights and if any breaches occur, they can seek redress at the Labour Inspectorate Unit of our Ministry, as they have equal rights just like national workers, to this free service.

Our latest collaboration with the Team at UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency T&T strengthens both our efforts to ensure the protection of these migrant workers' rights.
