blackbirding 

While there is evidence that some of the 62,000 people sent to Australia came willingly, and signed contracts to work on the plantations, many others mostly Pacific Islanders were lured or taken forcibly onto the boats.

This practice is what's known as blackbirding.

Blackbirding - technical indentured labourers are blackbirds.

If you're not getting paid your getting a blackbirding.
