Employment Insurance: Glendon Sanchez

Glendon Sanchez: The seasonal farm worker, who has been planting and harvesting in southwestern Ontario for more than 14 years, hopes 9-year-old Divine will one day understand why her da is away so much, according to The Star. Sanchezs devotion to Divine is the reason he applied for Employment Insurance parental benefits in 2009, when he first learned about the program and Ottawas willingness to accept claims dating back as far as 1990 from migrant workers who didnt realize they were eligible and Glendon Sanchez thinks about his daughter in Trinidad every day. There is no work back home, so I come here. I do it for her, said Sanchez, 37, who works 11-hour days on a Chatham-area fruit farm from late March to early November. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
