More abuse of the Temporary Foreign Workers program has led to charges of a form of slavery being practised by McDonalds in Alberta.

McDonald's foreign workers call it 'slavery' - Edmonton - CBC News

Records from three employees show they made $11 an hour working at various McDonald’s locations and the company took $280 from their pay for rent, bi-weekly. Their remaining take-home pay for the same pay periods was roughly $350.

“[The apartment lease] contracts are signed by McDonald’s. All of our bills – utility bills – were billed [to us] under the name of McDonald’s,” said Montero.

“They brought us here and they are this big huge corporation. We felt that we didn’t have a chance to even voice our opinion to them because they had brought us here so they could ship us back whenever they wanted to," said Montero. "It was like modern day slavery."

Since recent Go Public reports about McDonald’s practices with foreign workers, they said the corporation required all staff to sign an agreement, stipulating they would not speak to the media.

McDonald’s fired Montero in November, after he said managers accused him of complaining online about the company and intimidating other workers, which he and the other Belizeans insisted is not true.

How bad do we treat our real slaves (Indians) that we even import people to do slave labor? (so they have no work at all)

Enslaving people to work at McDonalds.... Geez.


It's part of their full meal deal...first they make you addicted to their food...then they hire slaves...and then they take over the world. Soon we may have a new most supreme leader...

If paying a canadian youth minimum wage means "if I could pay you less, I would"

Then bringing in immigrant workers to replace the canadian youth really shows us how useless our new gen of canadian youth are.

Nope. They are literally getting jobs ahead of Canadians and getting paid more.
The owner of the McDogfood said they were more reliable and would do whatever they were told to do.


I'm sure. Otherwise they get a one way ticket back to Belize.
