2 days agoThe letter said, for instance, that 107 workers had handed their passports to the company for help with applying for a temporary ID certificate in Brazil. The Brazilian labor inspectors had said that the workers had had their passports withheld by the company.
As someone who works in different countries, I sometimes have to send in my passport for stamps, verification, visa applications etc. What i always have on me is my secondary passport, for obvious reasons. I don’t buy for a second that a company this size wouldn’t make sure that their workers had a secondary passport, unless they had ulterior motives. It also makes everything else they say suspect.
Not so. We have agencies who bring our passports to the offices that require them.
