No One Is Illegal – A partner of KAIROS’ Empowering Temporary Foreign Workers during COVID-19 project, Halifax/Kjipuktuk is a grassroots movement building power and solidarity for migrant justice on Mi’kma’ki, the unceded, unsurrendered territory of the Miꞌkmaq people.
Recently, No One Is Illegal – Halifax/Kjipuktuk, KAIROS, and other organizations, including the Philippine Consul General in Halifax, provided emergency support to eight Filipino migrant workers who bravely spoke out about workplace conditions at a lobster plant in Nova Scotia. Their complaints against the employer include no days off (except for Christmas Eve), lack of appropriate care and concern when workers contracted COVID-19, being required to complete tasks/duties outside the scope of their contracts, and more. |
