Migrant workers speaking out about alleged abuse at NS farms:

Migrant farm workers are speaking out about unfair treatment at farms
in Nova Scotia as rallies for migrant worker rights are happening
country-wide today.

In a news release from No One Is Illegal-Hfx (NOII), a grassroots
movement for migrant worker rights, stories of workers from other
countries facing abuse while working in this province were recounted.

Latoya Ben, a woman from Saint Lucia who worked at a strawberry farm
in Nova Scotia, recently spoke to Saint Lucia media about alleged verbal
and physical abuse while working there.

“The treatment was very disrespectful and very bad. We were working
on our knees 24-7. The owner of the farm kicked one of the Saint Lucian
ladies and called us hungry dogs,” Ben told DBS Television on Sept. 13, 2022.
