Justicia for Migrant Workers (J4MW) is a volunteer-run, non-profit organization dedicated to helping migrant workers gain their rights in Canada. This organization was founded in April 2001 when over 20 Mexican migrant workers staged a strike in Leamington and repatriated. They are calling for employment insurance created by the federal government for migrant workers and the right to apply for Canadian citizenship. Furthermore, they fight for fair treatment and the right to appeal for workers (J4MW website, Our main demands). It offers workshops to educate migrant workers to understand their rights and address their grievances. Through interaction with farmers, it helps them raise awareness about legal issues. More active action connects migrant workers with immigration and human rights organizations both in Canada and in their home country (J4MW website, What We Do). They work with the Center for Spanish-Speaking Peoples and ELACE to connect Caribbean and Mexican workers in one community. Furthermore, their analysis includes not only immigration issues, but also gender and class conflicts at work (J4MW website, principles and objectives). The central goal of J4MW is to achieve better working conditions and greater respect for migrant workers. They also urge Canada to refine SAWP systems (J4MW WEBSITE, The Issues). This organization promotes equity by helping migrant workers gain their human rights and allowing the public to recognize that those workers work in poor working conditions. The public has a myth about migrants or immigrants that their arrival would take away Canadian jobs (guest speaker Faroah Chowdhury). A Canadian is imagined as a white man who speaks English or French, so when a...... middle of paper......, unfair to migrant workers. Migrant workers come to Canada to do very low skill, low income jobs (Ornstein, 56, 2006). The Canadian government and citizens choose to ignore them, just as Mister Volpe ignored J4MW's request. People also have xenophobic feelings towards these migrants (Fekete, 2,2006). They consider it dangerous to Canadians not only that Canadians think that migrant workers take away their jobs, but also that they come from a foreign land. In my opinion, J4MW is doing a great job to educate migrant workers to understand their rights and give them the courage to fight. On the other hand, the government should also educate Canadian citizens to suppress fear of migrants and immigrants. The government should do more to help migrants improve their skills and language. There should be a legal authority to ensure that the rights of migrant workers can be protected.
