More than 3,000 young men and women at any time are being held in unlawful Victorian style indentured labour practices by FDM Group, Sparta Global, Geeks Limited and others. on.ft.com/2qXc505
The practice involves naive graduates being charged tens of thousands of pounds for low grade training and then forced to work for years under unfair contracts to pay off that 'debt'.
The @GoodLawProject has been fighting, with the help of @GraduateFog, for several years to get a court judgment that these contracts unlawful. But, when the disputes near court, the companies involved offer to settle so long as the individual signs a confidentiality agreement.
We are grateful for the assistance of a team of lawyers including @seanjonesqc, @LeighDay_Law and members of @devereuxlaw and @CloistersLaw. There is, sadly, still much to do.
More background here theguardian.com/business/2018/… and here theguardian.com/business/2018/…. Capita's new Chief Executive ended the practice in 2017 but other companies continue with it.
