Faculty NewsNew migrants better skilled but still exploited, according to a new book by VU academicImmigrants to Australia still face a greater degree of exploitation and marginalisation at work than Australian-born workers, despite a growth in the number and skill levels of migrants employed, according to a new book by Associate Professor Santina Bertone of Victoria University’s Faculty of Business and Law. Titled “From Factory Fodder to Multicultural Mediators”, Dr. Bertone’s book looks at the changing work experiences of immigrant workers in Australia from the 1980s through to the 21st century, describing the new and emerging patterns of migrant employment, from unskilled to highly skilled jobs, while taking into account the degree of job regulation in each sector.
