Profit Margins: TFWP

TFWP: The Temporary Foreign Workers Program has evolved into an effective tool used by corporations to increase their profit margins. Alberta opponents of the TFWP claim it does so on the backs of foreign and Canadian workers, and say the province is ground zero for the worst offences, abuses and misuses of the controversial program, according to Huffington Post. Debate over the controversial initiative reached a fevered pitch this week, and prompted the federal government to announce a list of changes to the TFWP and What was intended to be a tool aimed at preventing economic retreat and loss of revenue due to labour shortages, has become a go-to solution for companies to artificially keep labour costs down, according to a new report. The TFWP has left Albertans out of work and bred a subculture of foreign worker abuse, claims the Alberta Federation of Labour in a report titled From Last Resort to First Choice. The report, released earlier this week, allegedly highlights all that is shady and ugly about the federal program. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
