Migrant Workers In Canada

ESSAY TITTLE

INTRODUCTION
In today society there are many job opportunities around the world, these jobs are unwanted by the people of the countries due to the jobs not having high wages or require too much physical labour. This is where migrant workers come and take the jobs; they are people who come from countries such as India, the Philippians, Middle Easter and African countries. They are being exploited of their labour by being paid low wages, slave contracts where they must stay for the contracted period of time, causing there freedom to be taken away and there passports, because there are seen by institutions as saving money that cane be spend somewhere else, when in reality migrant workers are the backbones of many countries, by them

In Canada there is an exploitation of migrant worker of only working for one employer which can lead abuse, low wages and horrible work condition, because the worker cannot leave there employer due to being “forced to accept the conditions offered by employers or face deportations” (pg,109). This causes a cycle to happen of how workers are brought to Canada, work jobs that Canadian do not want and are sent back to there countries where the working opportunities are worse.

The most important factor from this article is that the social problem of migrate worker is not as important of as the environment. The deforestation and the impact of the production of palm oil is more important and they neglect the labour rights that are being broken by the government and the palm oil companies that are allowing this exploitation to happens, because they are gaining a large profit of selling the essential item of palm oil. The reason why the environment seems to be the issues that is the bigger problem, is due to the factor of how the environment can affect and change how a person lives, for example, there can be more rain or drought in areas, it is a subject that everyone can relate to, while migrate workers are but in the background. The author of the article limits is that the article is only about the exploitation in palm oil, when in reality
