A Montreal organization that supports migrant workers is seeking authorization for a class-action lawsuit against an international aviation catering company and a recruitment firm that they say illegally employed foreign workers.

The Immigrant Workers Centre says in a court filing that Quebec-based recruitment company Trésor lured hundreds of workers to Canada under false pretences and exploited them once they were in the country.
