The problem starts with ETC, Mila.

With regards to your second question, they will tell you that they will send that person a letter.  At no point is the claimant kept informed of progress.

The claimant is told there is legal recourse, but that this only stretches back a year. Also there is a statute of limitations that applies.

Such juicy facts as the one you have presented are kept under wraps by authorities.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Is Franco Debono looking at laws in any particular order or has he been told which laws to look at? 

Do not our laws state  that whoever witholds your wages and passport so that you do not run away , controls where you live and eat and does not produce any papers to back the hours you are working against wages paid, should be indited on human trafficking charges?

The laws of the land do not seem to have given Carol Peralta (of the people think differently in Mellieha fame) any clarity even though no one locally who would dream of letting his employer keep his wages or his travel documents.

&#039;&#039;He (Carol Peralta) said he was concerned that the human trafficking charge may not be sufficiently proven as there were doubts as to whether employees were given the money and documents, held by the factory, if they asked for them. On the other hand, he said, he was concerned about the claim that Mr Han said these were held so workers would not escape.&#039;&#039; TOM
