Migrant Workers Association Aotearoa president Anu Kaloti: "Obviously they were needed here because they were working, so why weren't they given the correct documents?" Photo / John Gerritsen, RNZBy Liu Chen of RNZA migrant workers' association says it's concerned about the welfare of the 10 Chinese men who were found working unlawfully and now face deportation. Migrant Workers Association Aotearoa president Anu Kaloti said her organisation was trying to find out more details and offer any support needed to the men. Kaloti said more accountability was needed from employers rather than punishing the migrant workers. ... they should have been documented with [the correct documents] rather than made unlawful workers ... they should never have been put in that precarious situation of being unlawful in this country."
