Identifying Coercive Labor Practices
A migrant worker accepts a job offer in a European country based on a contract promising a specific wage and working hours. Upon arrival, their passport is confiscated by the employer, and they are informed that they must work longer hours for less pay to cover 'administrative fees' they were not told about previously. They are also told that if they complain to the authorities, their family back home could be in danger. Identify three distinct coercive tactics described in this scenario and explain how each one contributes to creating a condition of forced labor.
