Hope for cheated workers

-

A group of in-limbo Chinese constructi­on labourers could soon be back working. Immigratio­n NZ is investigat­ing allegation­s from about 30 people who say they are jobless and homeless. They claim they paid tens of-thousands of dollars for work visas to a man who promised work that has never eventuated. Immigratio­n Minister Iain LeesGallow­ay says their visa conditions could possibly be changed so they can work for other people. He says job offers for the workers have been sent to the union supporting them.
