Bragg and Hyndman (2024) - Migrants face a situation of permanent temporariness, where whether they arrive unauthorized or through the temporary foreign worker program, they are never really allowed access to permanent status with full rights. Instead, they work 3D jobs that are undesired by Canadian-born citizens yet necessary and have to negotiate to stay in Canada, often resulting in their exploitation. This article focuses on meatpacking plants in Alberta, where migrant workers are treated in an unequal and racialized manner. Many workers send remittances to their families back home, furthering their desire to keep their job and stay quiet about dangers. Overall, the biggest benefactors of this system are meatpacking corporations who have pushed wages down and treat workers poorly to maximize profits. In addition to this, the Canadian government plays a role in this by allowing the exploitation, justifying it with claims that the workers have legal status and rights, even though they lack the right to rights.
