RE: Regularize All Undocumented People and Ensure Permanent Resident Status for All Migrants

CUPE 1281 submitted a letter of support for the work that the Migrant Workers Network has been doing to break down barriers facing migrant workers and remove unfair obstacles to permanent residency for these workers. We echo their words: good enough to work, good enough to stay! The federal government promised regularization – permanent resident status for undocumented people – this Spring. Parliament goes on holiday as early as June 6 and there is no news! We are concerned that PM Trudeau is getting cold feet because of the scapegoating of migrants – tell them what you think! Migrant Rights Network launched a new petition asking Trudeau to reject racism and not back down from equality and fairness.
