New UN study reveals little progress in labour migration pathways over last decade
The UN Development Programme has published a review of its 2009 study on human mobility, which finds that little progress has been made on visa liberalisation for low skilled migrants in the last decade. On the contrary, policy developments in the field of labour migration pathways were found to increasingly favour “people with skills or wealth”.
Trade unions call for support to undocumented fishers following Brexit
The International Transport Workers Federation (ITF) Co-ordinator for Ireland and Britain has requested an urgent meeting with the Irish Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine to discuss the situation of undocumented fishers in the wake of Brexit. According to the federation, undocumented migrants are the main workforce on Irish fishing vessels. ITF calls for protections for all fishers that are left without work due to Brexit, including interim financial support via Ireland’s COVID-19 Pandemic Unemployment Payment.
