In October 2023, it was reported that migrant workers allegedly were recruited to Canada under false promises and exploited by an international aviation catering company, Newrest, and a Quebec labour supplier, Trésor.

The workers were allegedly promised work permits that did not materialize, and were subjected to threats of deportation, among other abuses.

A class action lawsuit was filed. In February 2026, it was reported that the Superior Court of Quebec approved a CAD2.1 million settlement.
