Would they not find it tough to get to the WRC? I know the WRC has information in 11 languages but many workers do not have English as their first language and they are reading information in English. I will not get into how workers are kept separate in these places. However, they are not really being directed to the WRC if that information is not in a language that is easily understood. Can consideration be given to ensuring people have access to information on their minimum terms in a language they can understand? While it is welcome that they get this information, if it is not in a language they can understand, it is the same as not getting it.
