Both my mother's and father's parents employed seasonal workers to harvest tobacco; some came from Quebec and some lived in the area. The Quebeckers loved my Nagymama's cooking and baking so much that they had a slogan: "no pork, no work; no pie, goodbye!"
Fast forward 50 years: while some seasonal workers continue to be part of an extended family, others endure appalling conditions. Furthermore, their wages are garnished by middlemen who arrange the work placements. Clearly, Canada's Temporary Foreign Worker Program needs to be closely examined and updated.
Our guest today is Gabriel Allahdua, the author of Harvesting Freedom: The Life of a Migrant Worker in Canada.
