Working with our partner AGRIcarrières, we organized brigades in the first summer of the COVID‑19 pandemic to go out and meet with the workers in their workplaces. Our objective was to explain their rights and how to exercise them.
We also work with the CNESST to find employers and persuade them to agree to have government representatives come in who will explain the workers' rights.
So we have implemented a number of concrete measures.
This summer, we also organized a fiesta for foreign workers in the Laurentians, and their employers provided transportation to the location for them. As well, we had kiosks on site where workers' representatives informed them of their rights.
So we take every possible opportunity to communicate with the workers and remind them that their employers have to respect them. We also give employers a lot of training to make sure they respect the workers' rights.
