Arbetsgivare tenderar att exploatera dessa människor och de arbetar därför ofta under mycket dåliga arbetsförhållanden samt erhåller ett sämre arbetsrättsligt skydd. Att utnyttja en redan så prekär grupp är oetiskt och det finns eIrregular migrant workers are those who work in Sweden without valid permission and they are a vulnerable group in the Swedish labour market.
