In March, police announced the bust of a major international labour trafficking ring in Ontario. Earlier this year, some of the workers had contacted the Toronto-based Workers’ Action Centre for help. The organization has been providing support since, alongside the Migrant Workers’ Alliance for Change. Some of the workers had been sent to work on farms, something that concerns the National Farmers Union.

I speak with Jenn Pfenning, president of the NFU.
