UN Report Slams Canada's Migrant Worker Scheme as "Breeding Ground for Slavery" | Firstpost America A report by the United Nations special rapporteur Tomoya Obokata revealed deep power imbalances and discriminatory practices against temporary foreign workers in Canada. Obokata says the country's Temporary Foreign Worker Program is a "breeding group for contemporary forms of slavery". These low-wage workers are brought into the nation by Canadian companies and the program benefits them and prevents them from exercising their rights. The UN report says migrant workers face physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, hazardous work conditions, wage theft, long working hours, and limited breaks. Meanwhile, the Canadian Immigration Minister has called the slavery allegation "inflammatory" and said the program needs to be reformed. --- Canada | Migrant Workers Scheme | UN Report | United Nations | Migrant Workers | Slavery | Firstpost America | Eric Ham | War | Geopolitics | Global Economy | Firstpost | World News | Latest News | Global News | International News | Trending News #canada #migrantworkers #scheme #unreport #unitednations #slavery #firstpostamerica #ericham #war #geopolitics #economy #firstpost #worldnews #latestnews #globalnews #internationalnews #trendingnews Firstpost is an Indian news and media website.
