(Vancouver) Following eight years of investigations and appeals, 64 farmworkers from Abbotsford and Surrey are celebrating after learning that the federal Minister of National Revenue has stopped opposing the workers’ entitlement to EI for farm labour they did in 2001 for Abbotsford-based BC Labour Contracting Ltd.

BCPIAC is a non-profit law firm with a focus on anti-poverty work. For example, we have worked on several court and human rights cases against the provincial welfare ministry.
We rely on community workers and advocates around BC to let us know concerns their clients are facing that need legal action, either on individual cases or recurring problems. As our workload permits, we also provide legal support and advice to community workers and advocates to support their own work on a particular case.
