Temporary Help Agency Consultation

January 21, 2021

This joint report from Parkdale Community Legal Services, Workers’ Action Centre, and Migrant Workers Alliance for Change (MWAC) addresses the lack of protection for temporary agency workers who do the most dangerous work for the least pay.  The use of temporary agencies likely contributed to the spread of COVID-19 on Ontario farms. Research from MWAC found that the cause of infection and transmission in agricultural workers was poor housing and working conditions, which are controlled by agricultural employers (client companies). Ontario needs mandatory licensing of temporary help agencies and recruiters of migrant workers in order to better protect temporary workers.
