In the lead up to the international day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, stand with migrant workers as they speak out against wage theft outside Pulse Project by Bastion.

Together with the Labour Committee from the Organizing Centre for Social and Economic Justice, 17 migrant workers are speaking out against unpaid wages owing from their former employer RDM Hudson Enterprises, who was contracted by construction company Bastion Development Corporation (on the Coast Project at UBC and Pulse Project at Maple & Broadway.)

These workers are owed $60,432 in unpaid wages, including overtime and statutory holidays. They are facing retaliation and intimidation from their former employer.

Please bring a white handkerchief to cover your face in solidarity with all of us who will be wearing white bandannas/handkerchiefs and white t-shirts saying "Bastion/RDM Owe Us $60,432! No to wage theft!" Speak out against injustice and show solidarity with migrant workers!
