## Resource

An Indian migrant worker paid £17,000 to agents for a UK care job—only to be left unpaid for a full year, forced into destitution and told to rely on food banks. His visa restricted his hours, and no one seemed to care until an employment tribunal ordered nearly £30,000 in back pay—and revoked the employer’s sponsorship license. This landmark case exposes the brutal exploitation of migrant workers and sparks calls for urgent reform to the skilled worker visa system, so victims aren’t trapped when employers break contracts.
