Tens of thousands of migrant workers in Australia toil in the shadows, paid as little as seven dollars an hour, working grueling 12-hour days under extreme heat with no sick pay or safety nets. Trapped by labor hire contractors who control every aspect of their lives, these workers live in squalid, overcrowded conditions and have no voice — all while feeding our supermarkets. The system, built on exploitation and secrecy, thrives because agencies dodge accountability, there’s no licensing for many contractors, and companies recycle hollow reports instead of fixing supply chains. The cost of cheap food? It’s being paid by some of the most vulnerable people in the country — and it’s time for real change before this broken system collapses entirely.
