Migrant domestic workers march on Downing St to end slave conditions caused by Con-Dem visa change
Charities and unions back exploited home staff as they hand in petition to reinstate defunct overseas domestic worker visa in Modern Slavery Bill

Migrant domestic workers exposed to slave conditions by a Con-Dem clampdown on working visas will descend on Downing Street today.

A petition of thousands of names will be handed in at the residence of posh Prime Minister David Cameron — who employs a foreign nanny to care for his kids.

Workers are demanding the reinstatement of rights guaranteed by the overseas domestic worker visa, which was axed in April 2012 by the Tories.
