The Federal Government is being asked to investigate claims that 457 work visas are being abused at Gina Rinehart's $10 billion Roy Hill iron ore project in the Pilbara.

The CFMEU says there are up to 200 white collar 457 visa workers employed by contractor Samsung C&T on the project.

CFMEU national secretary Michael O'Connor says he has written to the Employment Minister Eric Abetz calling for an urgent investigation.

"We've got a whistleblower who has informed the union that there's up to 150 to 200 Korean workers who have been brought in, that they are being exploited," he said.

"The allegation is that they've been brought in to do certain types of work and then they are being allocated other types of work in breach of their visa conditions."

Aside from being asked to do work outside their visa conditions, the CFMEU alleges many of the staff are working more than 84 hours a week and being paid as little as $16 an hour.
