Event details
The Work Futures Research Centre (WFRC) will be holding a half day symposium on ‘Migrant Work Futures’ to look at research, policy and evidence about migration, population patterns and employment in the UK. We have invited academics doing research and contributing to debates on this topic to speak at the event alongside representatives from the Trade Union Congress (TUC) who are currently running a ‘Truth Lies and Migrants’ campaign.
