Fellow Workers: Workers and Tory Government

fellow workers: Gina Bahiwal, 42, has run out of options and is scheduled for deportation to the Philippines on Sunday, according to Toronto Star. She was left without status under the former Tory government's now rescinded four-in-four-out rules that banned migrant workers from Canada for four years after having worked here for four. Justicia for Migrant Workers By Nicholas Keung Immigration reporter Thu., Jan. 12, 2017 A migrant worker who has stood up for fellow workers and become a public face of the labour rights movement is facing deportation herself, caught up in the very rules she fought successfully to change. I have been inspired by Gina's dedication and tenacity to fight for the rights of migrant workers. Every victory that we have accomplished, from banning recruitment fees to ending the four-in-four-out rule, is attributed to the activism of Gina. From advocating for their maternal rights to exposing the unscrupulous practices of migrant recruiters, Gina is one of our unsung heroes, said Chris Ramsaroop of the advocacy group Justicia for Migrant Workers.
