Kiwi Company Exploits Migrant Workers | Auckland News
Description
A Bay of Plenty kiwifruit company and its former director face massive penalties after exploiting migrant workers—holding back pay, forcing illegal fees, and denying basic rights. Four Indian workers, on special visas, were ripped off, paying over $65K in “premiums” that funneled into Dhillon’s overseas accounts. Despite selling the company, Dhillon and the firm are now ordered to pay nearly $400K total—including $88K for Dhillon personally—and workers will each receive $33K. This case exposes how vulnerable visa-dependent workers are—and sends a clear warning: exploitation won’t be tolerated.
