Why
Demand the right to permanent residency for all 457 workers! The use of temporary workers, or guest workers, by capitalists and governments has been increasing over the last decade.
This trend is another aspect of the continued globalisation of the world economy. Employers like using guest workers because it makes them vulnerable, isolated and non-unionised. These things will make it much harder for workers to organise and fight for better wages and conditions.
In these arrangements, the right of residency and employment is subject to the whim of the employer. This system keeps workers constantly afraid of being deported.
Workers have a right to permanent residency and not to be deported for standing up for their rights. Join us for a rally to support Filipino worker Jessie Cayanan and stop him from being deported.
