Trucking Industry Under Scrutiny for Labor Trafficking
from Calgary News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Two arrests have been made in Saskatchewan as RCMP crack down on labor trafficking tied to a local trucking company, where workers were allegedly forced into debt bondage, denied wages, and trapped under threats of deportation—highlighting a nationwide surge in exploitation. Victims, often immigrants, are held captive by withheld passports, unsafe conditions, and false promises of residency. Advocates warn this is not an isolated case, with over 90 victims assisted last year alone. Authorities urge the public to recognize warning signs, while the trucking association condemns the abuse, calling it a violation of human rights and road safety.
