Title
Beyond Social Unionism: Farm Workers in Ontario and Some Lessons from Labour History
Abstract
The article focuses on farm labor in Ontario. It is said that migrant farm workers are widely employed in Niagara because they return better profit. However, it is claimed that the use of workers from Mexico and the Caribbean serves to depress wages and complicates union formation. It is also noted that these workers are denied with the rights enjoyed by workers with landed-immigrant status.
