Trade Agreement: Workers and Tpp

trade agreement: In fact, this trade agreement will greatly harm migrant workers, according to Huffington Post Canada. It will do so in two key ways. In opposing the TPP, some have incorrectly argued that the TPP will pit migrant workers against Canadian workers. First, TPP will result in lower protections, wages and working conditions for workers primarily in the poorer countries that are signatories to the TPP. This will force many of them to move from rural areas to urban areas, and then to migrate out of their countries for basic opportunities. At the same time, they will face a miseducated public who has been incorrectly led to believe that migrant workers are taking Canadians jobs. Second, when those low-waged and racialized migrant workers arrive in Canada, they will largely do so through the temporary foreign workers program, without permanent status, and be tied to their employers and excluded from basic protections.
