ALL OUT for a National Day of Action
December 2, 2009
Justice for Migrant Workers!
In Toronto:
Meet at 11am
Corner of King St. and University Ave.
* Make it loud and clear to Immigration Minister Jason Kenney that we won't let immigrants be turned into a disposable workforce with no rights!
* Demand justice for migrant workers!
Regulations introduced on October 9, 2009 essentially deny the right of full status to temporary migrant workers by restricting them to working four years in Canada and barring them from returning to the country for six years. (More: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/migrantworkers/)
The regulations come in to force on December 9, 2009. Unless we can stop them!
On Dec 17, Justice for Migrant Workers (J4MW) will be going to Ottawa to intervene at the Supreme Court, where arguments relating to the plight of Canada's migrant workers will be heard for the first time in Canada's legal history.
In Toronto, join us for a vigil to greet them on their return, as well as to usher in and commemorate the International Day for Migrants.
Time: Thurs. Dec. 17, 11pm
Location: Chinese Railroad Workers Memorial (Between Skydome (Rogers Centre) and Spadina Ave., south of Front St., beside the rail yards)

WHY A VIGIL?
