Migrant worker advocates are calling for regulators to speed up the investigative process into exploitation claims. Over a thousand migrant worker exploitation complaints have been filed within the past year, and ninety percent of those complaints haven't been followed up with an investigation. First Union says that there aren't enough labour inspectors to handle all of these investigation claims, and that a lack of enforcement renders current labour laws useless. National Manager Labour Inspectorate, Stu Lumsden explained why these investigation numbers are as low as they are.  "You can get that many complaints, but that doesn't mean all complaints are capable of being investigated. Some are anonymous, and we can't follow up. We can't entertain the facts and it's not worth taking any further."  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
