Migrant workers diagnosed with deadly lung disease linked to kitchen revamps (www.msn.com)

There were a cluster of cases who were migrant workers working pretty much for family-based organisations, all of whom were working with no control. So no water suppression, no real PPE.

My understanding is that the migrant workers had been in the country for between six and eight years and had been working part-time on zero-hours contracts doing this work.
