Marcello Di Cintio, an author and journalist, delves into the hidden lives of migrant workers in Canada. He exposes the grim realities faced by these individuals, trapped in exploitative conditions despite their essential contributions to the economy. Through personal stories, including those of workers like Omar, he highlights issues of abuse, wage theft, and the moral contradictions of inviting laborers while denying them dignity. Di Cintio argues for necessary reforms, including open permits and better protections, to restore rights and visibility to these invisible laborers.
