Migrant farmworkers are the most vulnerable workers in #Canada & deserve to be treated with dignity & respect. The Federal Gov has the possibility to make unionization mandatory & therefore protect these essential workers, the solution is there!

[Hon. Marco Mendicino @marcomendicino]

Yesterday in Parliament, I was honored to table our 2021-2023 Immigration Levels Plan, our roadmap for the next three years. Before the pandemic, our government’s goal to drive the economy forward through immigration was ambitious. Now, it is vital.

Opinion: It is a popular misconception that Canada does migrant workers a favour by allowing them to work hard, for little money, in hazardous and degrading conditions

.@sinfronterasESC, national rep at @UFCWCanada, said housing must be improved “as soon as possible,” & for these measures to work, migrant farm workers need stronger labour rights, so they can join a union, have collective agreements & labour mobility.
