“…We specifically wanted to identify what strengths and limitations were observed regarding CSO engagement with labor issues, what governance mechanisms (if any) were discussed in relation to labor, and what roles CSO actors or groups had. An analysis of the literature that focuses on labor within the food system, particularly from a North American perspective, reveals several focus areas, notably migrant labor policy such as the Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program (SAWP; McLaughlin and Weiler, 2017;Weiler et al, 2017); health and safety of migrant workers (Preibisch and Otero, 2014;Weiler and McLaughlin, 2019;Weiler and Grez, 2022); migrant worker residency status, worker education, and worker organizing (Grez, 2006;Jayaraman, 2014;Perry, 2019); labor exploitation (Coplen, 2018;Klassen et al, 2022;Reese and Sbicca, 2022); and collective bargaining and unionization (Foster, 2014;Hall, 2015;Sbicca, 2015). Much of the literature identified migrant labor and specifically migrant farm labor.…”
