The number of federal inspections under the temporary foreign worker program is up dramatically this year and two businesses have been added to a public blacklist.
In response to complaints of poor working and living conditions, federal officials investigated Obeid Farms in Vanessa, Ont., where they concluded that 20 temporary foreign workers were consistently working seven days a week.
Officials also took issue with how the travel costs of workers were handled by AYR Motor Express, a New Brunswick-based trucking company.
