A ROMANIAN factory worker opened up to the Unite conference yesterday to reveal how he was working more than 30 hours unpaid overtime a week before he joined the union.

Andrei Dudau worked 16-hour shifts six days a week during busy periods when he began work at the Dorset food factory in 2004.

He and 100 other Romanians that were handed temporary contracts at the same time earned only the minimum wage for backbreaking work and could be deported at the whim of the bosses.
