    Marginalised migrant fishermen now have access to help



    10 January 2014


    The Migrant Workers' Centre (MWC) officially opened the Seafarers' Welfare Centre (SWC) at Jurong Fishery Port today to provide migrant fishermen who currently do not have access to help, with assistance on employment-related issues.

    The SWC is directed at helping workers who do not possess legal work or stay visas in Singapore and thus, have no access to legal processes when their rights are infringed.  The facility is positioned as a preventative solution against the abuse of workers.  MWC has collaborated with several organisations in a community and government joint-effort to realise the set-up of the SWC which expects to see workers employment issues like salary non-payment or arrears, employment agencies, well-being and maintenance as well as possible employment-trafficking cases.

    For more details, please refer to the media release attached.
