MIGRANT WORKERS HEALTH RIGHTS UNMET

Migrant workers health rights unmet
Migrant farm workers Kenroy Williams (left) and Denville Clarke (right) have been fighting for compensation since a 2012 crash.
A recent court decision denying injured migrant farm workers health care after their
 work visas expire is only the
 latest attack on these workers' health rights, according to advocates, who say these
 labourers die, are injured or are exposed to carcinogenic chemicals with impunity in Canada.
