In the past decade, employers in Ontario have shifted to rely on precarious and contract jobs. Temporary agencies and part-time temp work has grown rapidly in the province and across the country. These agencies not only benefit from, but also drive predatory employment practices that target immigrants and women of colour like those in the East Danforth Community Chapter (EDCC).
The EDCC is part of Unifor, Canada’s largest union in the private sector, and represents South Asian women working in temporary staffing agencies in Toronto. Members of the EDCC and the South Asian Women’s Rights Organisation (SAWRO) held an emotional and honest community event on Thursday, March 23 to tell their stories.
