Foreign workers responsible for the beneficiaries condemn the dire situation in which they have to work.
In the Villa Mon domain in Lewis, a residence for seniors who lost their autonomy, foreign workers worked on a voluntary basis and without a work permit. They were given approximately $ 100 every two weeks.
On Sunday, Franுவாois and some of his colleagues demanded access to an open work permit for better supervision of staff.
Raphaël Laflamme, CTTI’s social organizer, said in a statement: “We cried wrongly about the Villa Mon domain, because it’s good, because it’s unacceptable. .
Franுவாois says he experienced persecution, racist comments and discrimination while working in the Villa Mon domain. He lived in a closet-sized bedroom.
“There were 37 residents, only one of whom was semi-autonomous. All the rest, they were not only Alzheimer’s, they were not self-sufficient,” he says.
After an eleven-month wait, he finally received a work permit.
