Successful Canadian temp workers' program lures thousands of Mexican workers By OLGA R. RODRIGUEZ, CBC News
Critics of the Canadian program say foreign agricultural workers are denied basic rights, including overtime wages and claiming health and unemployment benefits they pay for. Michael Forman, a spokesman with Canada's United Food and Commercial Workers Union, said workers are not aware of their rights and many times are afraid to file a complaint against their employers.
'If they complain, they can find themselves on a plane back home,' Forman said. 'The whole game is loaded against them.'------------------------------------------- posted 6:32 AM :: reference link ::
