- The Canadian government is investigating the circumstances of why some Jamaican migrant workers were sent back to the Caribbean after holding a one-day strike in protest of their workplace and living conditions at a farm in Ontario. BG has the details. Let us know in the comments, Should the federal government do more to protect temporary foreign workers?
What wickedness! I’m glad they are going to investigate…
Modern day slavery
Modern-day slavery 🤦♀️
More like *human trafficking
WTH are they dying of???!!!
This is infuriating. This should not happen anymore, we've known about this for years. Temporary workers should be hooked up with a buddy system, put in touch with Canadian volunteers who can help keep an eye on employers and continue the fight even if the worker is sent home, someone you can absolutely count on to help stop the abuse.
buddy systems are tricky when farms are remote and workers must live on employers' property. That's why unions do this work: they have some resources to intervene.
Or they could actually just pay Canadians the proper wage to do it. There 100% isn't a need for illegal or foreign workforce. Especially if there is a homeless population or improvised ppl
We should be grateful these worker come and work our land! The very least we could do is provide appropriate safety training and equipment. Along with clean and safe living quarters.
Farm work is Modern Days slavery like it or not but it’s the truth,workers don’t get pay good less than minimum wage and they actually work the hardest and longest 😢
These migrant workers go back home and are very wealthy, it's a privilege to come here to work.
@@smchambs wealthy??
Farm work is not slavery. Most farm work is done with machines, mainly operated by White men. Who get contracts $$$ to farm. There's literally no reason to bring these ppl in. They want to be here, they will accept the cheap wage and less than living conditions. Also, these ppl drive down wages.
Why hide the beast face . If it was another Jamaicans talking surely they wouldn't hide his face.
Is there any cause of death released for the 12 workers?
Someone should be held accountable for the deaths of those who died.
Unacceptable, and this matter should be dealt with acciduously.
Yes, more needs to be done to protect these workers!
More needs to be done to protect our jobs! Why are they outsourcing jobs???????
@@user-zq3uv4qh2e ok you go and do that job. Nobody here wants those jobs that why they bring people here to do them.
Shameful, sometimes it's hard to be a proud Canadian I'm embarrassed and repulsed. Nothing more than modern day slavery
How dare these modern day slaves have any standards, right? The federal government could careless, there are probably thousands more slaves "migrant workers" lining up to come. If I had a family member thinking about this I would 100% advise against this!
Same thing going on south
My family friend has been on this program, He could not even get half a day off to go to a family wedding in Toronto. It is a type of systemic slavery
Name the farm
That's horrible. These poor Jamaican people should stay out of Canada and avoid all these horrors.
The mex went through this is Texas this is what they do.
Wow this is disturbing
Thanks for the update, Brandon! Farmworkers need unions for health and safety. Unions need farmworkers to teach all members about employers' trickery.
Unions are bullies.
Slavery done a long time ago. The Jamaican government is silent
Why. This is really sad.
🗣️🎙️These devils👹👹👹are getting worse😡😡😡. Ooooooooh Benjamin 😳😳😳.
Well if you don't come with medical Insurance you have no hope of getting help! For the Farmer is not going to pay for any medical problem that occurs.
I am happy they are standing up against these work conditions because these farmers male money. What we need to do is expose the locations of this farms!!
Canadian government must do more to protect migrant workers.
They should be doing more to protect the immigrant workers. I personally have seen the abuse that took place, it was reported and nothing was done because they were well connected
They’re migrants they can be sent home.
Also migrants in my province Canada voted down to join a union a few years ago.
Cheap, labor force always cuts into the wages of citizens.
Good
Not surprised. Terrible situation.
Who is profiting off these fine men and woman back home in their native lands? What deals have been struck with Canadian government start there first. When it’s all said and done don’t complain about paying quadruple for farmed foods which these men are tending to. It’s a horrible thing either way my heart goes out to these men and woman who come from other lands for a better life only to be enslaved even by their own country if such is the case
Every normal Canadian would assume that things are done right in Canada.
And that very high standards are met for workers coming in.
That is what we want. Shame.
Get oversight into this.
holy shit just show the video
het brandon its not canadian thing its that FARM !!! name that farm ! or are you scared too ....
Did they plug the toilet? Did they work whenever they felt like it?
There seems to be a grave issue with the way some employers choose to carry on business throughout Canada. As with the fast food industry also, employers are choosing TFWs over domestic workers because they know they can abuse their power over TFWs who don't know their rights. The fact that death on our farms is being taken lightly by this government shows they don't give a crap.
Edit: *some, so as to not generalize. Some farmers have great relations with their workers
I think its despicable that the government hasn't done anything to protect these workers. We all know that without these workers we cannot maintain a healthy lifestyle in canada, because without them fresh fruits will not make it to supermarkets, farmers markets etc so why not put protection in place for them so that they will want to come back and not feel threatened. It's honestly heartbreaking and I hope some sort of resolution can be put into place.
I think its dispicable that Clownadians are to lazy to work on farms and veiw immigrants as a source of labour.
What do u expect they only hired them because ther cheap labor
All lies
Died, or got deleted???
Send these refugees downtown to work these farms
Don’t you realize they will end up on jobs like theses? They are on a waiting list, why you think they outside waiting??
I’m so proud of Team BG for doing this story 💯 this is just awful 😢😡
May God deliver them from modern day slavery. I rewat he'd the first 10 seconds "you don't get to choose the days you wanna work, that's not how this works"! My gosh, 😢 Being poor is a crime, that man is a walking d€ad man and he don't even know it.
This has been going on to Canadians for years and years and nothing was done about it. The labour board warns these companies before an audit.
Can I just say I loveeeee the work you do @brandongonezshow thank you so much for staying on this. Continuous blessings brother 🙏🏿
