COMMONS
Organizing Against Exploitation: A Fight for Justice
The chapter follows the journey of immigrant farm workers in Canada as they battle against exploitative labor contractors who wield significant power and intimidate workers. Despite facing cultural stigmas and threats of deportation, the workers, led by key figures like Raj Chauhan, organize kitchen meetings and adapt strategies with Bangra performances and Sikhism teachings to demand rightful payment and better working conditions. The narrative progresses to the formation of the Canadian farm workers union in 1980, marked by intense struggles, threats of violence, and harrowing conditions faced by workers.
