Migrante Manitoba: Foreign Worker

Diwa Marcelino Dept: "All the problems in the temporary foreign worker program are systemic," said Diwa Marcelino, program co-ordinator for Migrante Manitoba, which advocates for Filipino foreign workers, according to Winnipeg Free Press. "The problems are built into the system, like the 15 per cent reduction in wages," he said and a Manitoba labour group is raising its eyebrows at news that the federal government is putting the temporary foreign worker program under the microscope after complaints about one B.C. mine. Problems with the program are the federal government's creation, he said. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
