How do the authors propose to address the exploitation of Black and Brown workers in the health service?

The authors propose addressing the exploitation of Black and Brown workers by implementing equitable work delegation, creating fair recruitment processes, and recognizing the qualifications of overseas nurses. They also suggest changing immigration systems to end exploitative visa fees and providing automatic indefinite leave to remain for international healthcare workers.

To address the exploitation of Black and Brown workers in the health service, the authors advocate for several measures. They call for equitable delegation of work to ensure fairness in workloads and responsibilities. Additionally, they emphasize the need for a fair and transparent recruitment process, which includes internal vacancies, to prevent discrimination in hiring and promotions. Recognizing the experience and training of overseas nurses is also crucial, as it prevents them from being automatically treated as unqualified. Furthermore, the authors propose changing the immigration system to eliminate exploitative visa fees and to grant automatic indefinite leave to remain for international healthcare workers, thereby reducing their vulnerability to exploitation.
