Canada’s seasonal #agriculture worker program was formed to recruit migrants from Mexico and 11 Caribbean nations to work for up to 8 months a year to address chronic labor shortages. But critics say the program is poorly supervised, leaving workers vulnerable to exploitation by employers, often denied the Canadian labor benefits they’re entitled to and at risk of deportation if they complain. The program is part of a broader initiative that brings in temporary foreign workers for other industries, like fish processing. While #Canada has decreased the overall number of these workers in the past 3 years, the farmworker program is growing. Erika Zavala — the 32-year-old single mother who @fremson photographed here — works on an organic carrot farm in British Columbia. Erika has been weeding on her hands and knees for 10 hours a day, for about $8 an hour, since 2014. In past years, she has slept in a decrepit, mice-infested Airstream with a door that could be locked only from outside. Now, the trailer she shares with another Mexican woman has no hot water. Though she earns less than she did at previous farm jobs in Canada, Erika said she never complained; she fears being barred from the program. Mexican officials warn workers like Erika not to make trouble. “They always say, ‘You’re going to Canada to work, not to cause problems,’” she said. Visit the link in our profile to read more.
