182, Yumna Siddiqi on campaigning with garment workers in Montreal

On this edition of Free City Radio we continue with the series of interviews focused on the organizing work of the Immigrant Workers Centre in Montreal to support garment sector workers who were facing the outsourcing of their work to the global south. In this context the interviews look at a specific company, Lamour Inc., who between 2006-2008 was outsourcing jobs to contexts where workers could be paid less and more easily exploitable.
