Canadian Rules: Alberta Federation of Labour

Alberta Federation of Labour: According to provincial figures from April 2012 to march of this year, only 218 complaints were investigated despite there being over 68-thousand temporary foreign workers at the time, according to 660 News. They are unaware of Canadian rules; these are things that we learn as Canadians over time, but they are less likely to be aware of all the rules. Because the government is no longer doing proactive inspections, its on the worker to actually contact these organizations and complain, she says and The Alberta Federation of Labour wants the province to ramp up inspections in workplaces where temporary foreign workers are employed. Alberta Federation of Labour Secretary Treasurer Siobhan Vipond tells 660News these workers are less likely to know their rights and could be short-changed. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
