Workers Alliance: Workers and Status

workers alliance: That puts them in precarious conditions and the ministers need to immediately turn their attention to these issues, according to Metro News. Hussan's group has long been calling for migrant workers to be granted permanent residence status, claiming deporting them could adversely affect the country's economic growth. The vast majority of new immigrants to Canada are actually either undocumented or have temporary status, said Syed Hussan, member of the Toronto-based Migrant Workers Alliance for Change. Advocates also want to see the introduction of an open work permit for foreign workers waiting for permanent status. We've heard numerous reports of abuse and exploitation in workplaces, unpaid overtime work and poor working conditions, he said. Most of these workers are stuck in low-wage jobs with one employer, said Hussan. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
