- Description
The Conservative government is now allowing employers to pay up to 15% less to skilled migrant workers, as part of recent changes to Canada’s Temporary Foreign Worker Program.
Send a message to Ministers Jason Kenney and Diane Finley telling them this is unfair, discriminatory and will drive down wages for all workers. It’s time for fairness for migrant workers.
