Stolen Wages - Featuring the Naujawan Support Network

What would you do if your wages were stolen? What if you were new to Canada and your immigration status depended on that employment? The folks within the Naujawan Support Network (NSN) in Peel are self-organizing to get those wages back and to better protect workers in their community. Their tactics are bold. They go after bad bosses - naming and shaming them in very public ways. Simran and Arin of NSN Peel teach host Jessa McLean about the resistance that exists within workers, and how they persevere in the face of lawsuits while fighting for what they're owed.
