Migrant Workers Abused - Not Surprising

It’s no surprise that according to a new article, many migrant workers are abused here, both sexually and otherwise. The reason is pretty obvious. According to the laws in our country, many workers with temporary foreign worker status can only work for a sponsor and cannot shop around for a job elsewhere. The employer holds all the strings and can expel the worker at will. Hmm, let me think if this would create a bad situation for employees! They can only work in one place! If they don’t like it their only option is to go back to the terrible place they fled! It’s surprising no one could foresee this!

The whole economic theory about improvements in the workplace essentially hinge on the ability and legality of employees leaving and going elsewhere. Without this ability, workers power is dramatically reduced. C’mon Canada, fix this stupid problem! (By the way, the solution is more freedom).
