In 2019, Ontario Premier Ford cancelled a $15 minimum wage. The minimum wage only went up because workers like you demanded it!  

But minimum wage is not enough to live on. Some workers aren’t even allowed to get the minimum wage. You and your co-workers deserve more! Call us to join with others to improve wages for yourself and others.

Job Posting: Outreach Workers, Migrant Students United

Migrant Workers Alliance for Change (MWAC) is a member-led organization that is building racialized, low-waged, worker power to win migrant justice. Our areas of focus include current and former international students in low-waged work through our Migrant Students United campaign (MSU).

We are seeking two outreach workers to join the MSU team. Outreach workers will make contact with migrant student workers in the Greater Toronto Area, and bring them into the MSU campaign so they can be part of winning changes to immigration and labour policy.

We are no longer accepting applications for this position.

Add your name: Migrant student workers deserve fairness!
