Abstract
- The article offers information on cross-border rallies in the U.S. and Canada to group guestworkers and protest the agricultural labor programs for guestworkers by both Canadian and U.S. governments. Food and Commercial Workers Canada member Naveen P. Mehta mentions that the programs are associated to modern-day slavery due to unsatisfactory working conditions and employer-provided lodging. Guestworker initiatives like the Temporary Foreign Worker programs are criticized by workers because they allow employers to deport workers that join labor unions.
