Companies urged to protect migrant workers

A two year study has found the abuse of migrant workers is on the rise.

The global Business for Social Responsibility network is planning to tackle the problem in a different way. It wants its 250 member companies to take more responsibility for the fate of workers who produce goods for them ...often at arm's lenght, and far away. With 90 million people migrating for work each year, they're increasingly travelling between emerging economies, where many of the problems lie.
