When I agreed to work in Canada, I knew that I would be working hard, but I expected that my rights would be upheld fairly, like everyone else's rights. That was not the case.
Employers say they can’t find citizens or permanent residents to work for them. This leads me to ask the following questions. Are they refusing because they’re unavailable or because the employers’ expectations are immoral? Would a person who has a choice agree to work for them willingly? Are they looking for human beings who will work despite being denied their freedom and rights or are they simply looking for slaves?
When human beings are divided into two classes, with one class denied their basic rights and exposed to the risk of systemic violence, the rights, working conditions and job quality of all workers suffer. For everyone to be able to work with dignity and safely, the basic rights of all workers must be respected.
Thank you for your time and for your attention to this issue.
