Description: When workers are misinformed, they are vulnerable to being taken advantage of by unethical recruiters or having their employment rights infringed.

Before service starts on Sunday, Fair Employment Agency (FEA) will provide an orientation that covers: • What is Forced Labour, Debt Bondage and why are unethical Employment Agencies responsible? • What is FEA?

Volunteers will be given an Outreach Script to guide your conversation with workers on the day. Volunteers will be equipped with a FEA tote bag and sign that will clearly identify yourself as a representative of FEA.
