SUPPORT DTMF’S ESSENTIAL WORK

Special fundraising campaign to finance RHWF’s strategic litigation

Measures like employer(s)-specific work permits are associated with a radical power imbalance in favour of employers, leading to the widespread violation of rights of individuals employed under foreign worker status in Canada – notably within the domestic work and agricultural sectors.

Despite overwhelming evidence that employer-tying measures restrict workers’ capacity to resign and generally exercise rights – including fundamental ones, the Canadian government refuses to end them and, in particular, to replace employer-tying work authorizations with open ones.

This issue has to be brought to the courts. RHFW has launched on Sept 14, 2023 a constitutional class action seeking to repare the harm created by and deter the futur enforcement of employer-tying measures such as closed work permits.

To ensure the success of this constitutional action, which is of historical and global significance, we need to raise this year an additional $200 000, in particular from foundations and major donors.
