Victoria Andres was in for a nasty surprise when she came to Taiwan. She had signed a contract in the Philippines to work as a caregiver for an elderly man in Yilan. But after arriving at Chiang Kai-shek International Airport she was driven to Banqiao and put to work as a domestic helper, or maid, for a family of five. She never saw the old man.

Good article. Thanks for keeping these items posted.

One of the heartening things about the indentured labour and animal welfare stories is that more and more Taiwanese seem to think this sort of thing is important. Fair play to them. Thanks for posting that. And you would have to say kudos to the TT for printing it. (Are the local Chinese-language papers covering this though?)

Yes, the "two wrongs make a right" approach.

Nice to see you are joining the other poster who follows me around making wisecracks about my posts.
Maybe a confab with the other one would improve your quality.
Or perhaps you have the back-up sourcing to support the claim of

"...millions of illegal slave workers in the US working for slave wages doing jobs Americans won't do..."

, eh?
