What Dexterra is doing is creating an unfair advantage for itself.”The rally – which included members of Justicia for Migrant Workers, TTCriders, Toronto Centre Tenant Union, the Toronto Tenant Union, Toronto Centre City Council Candidate Curran Stikuts, and more – declared that Crosslinx has a responsibility to take action and hold Dexterra accountable, meaning ensuring that the companies it hires follow labour law and treat workers well.
