“…As realidades econômicas antes havidas nos seus países de origem fazem com que os imigrantes aceitem empregos com baixa qualificação e salários diminutos com maior facilidade, produzindo os efeitos do Dumping social, já que nessas circunstâncias o mínimo de valor ganho é suficiente. Trata-se de um sintoma de injustiça estrutural (OTTONELLI, 2019).…”

Os estudos acerca do Liberalismo de Adam Smith arraigaram o conceito de Estado mínimo e livre comércio. Simultaneamente ao processo de abertura de mercados, exsurge a necessidade de aperfeiçoamento do ordenamento normativo do comércio internacional, sobretudo após o término das Guerras Mundiais. Partindo desse cenário de conflitos internacionais do comércio, em 1948, criou-se a General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade como documento complementar da Carta de Havanna, que por meio das Rodadas de negociação regulamentou a prática do Dumping, ao qual foi inserida doutrinariamente a modalidade do Dumping social. O objetivo deste trabalho é a análise da utilização da mão de obra migrante, mediante o esvaziamento dos direitos do trabalhador, como forma de alcance de melhor competitividade no mercado internacional e eventual configuração da prática de Dumping social. Quanto a metodologia utilizou-se na fase investigativa o método indutivo, na fase de tratamento de dados o método cartesiano, e no relatório dos resultados foi utilizada a base lógica indutiva. Palavras-Chave: Neoliberalismo. Direito dos trabalhadores. Dumping social. Trabalhador migrante. Abstract Studies on Adam Smith's liberalism rooted in the concept of a minimal state and free trade. Simultaneously with the market opening process, there is a need to improve the normative order of international trade, especially after the end of the World Wars. Based on the scenario of international trade conflicts, in 1948, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade was created as a complementary document to the Havana Charter, which, through negotiation rounds, regulated the practice of Dumping, to which it was routinely inserted as a form of social dumping. The objective of this work is to analyze the use of immigrant labor, through the deviation of worker's rights, as a way of achieving better competitiveness in the international market and eventual configuration of the practice of social dumping. As for the methodology used in the investigative phase or inductive method, in the data processing phase or Cartesian method, and not reporting two results, the inductive logic base and the inductive logic base were used in the report of the results. Keywords: Neoliberalism. Workers' rights. Social dumping. Migrant worker.

“…The transnational and increasingly stratified nature of migration (Menke & Rumpel, 2022;Scheibelhofer, 2022) generates hierarchies of belonging that lead us to ask not only who, but also how and to what degree specific migrants are included. The relationship between formal belonging and its everyday character articulates with everyday boundaries, gender, and racialized norms to inhibit belonging, including access to resources and services (Mattes & Lang, 2021;Menke & Rumpel, 2022;Ottonelli & Torresi, 2019;Speed et al, 2021).…”

Migrant Agricultural Workers’ Experiences of Support in Three Migrant‐Intensive Communities in Canada

Canada has intensified its reliance on temporary foreign workers, including migrant agricultural workers (MAWs) who have contributed to its agriculture sector, rural economies, and food security for decades. These workers live and work in rural communities across Canada for up to two years. Thousands of MAWs engage in recurring cyclical migration, often returning to the same rural communities in Canada for decades, while others are undocumented. Yet MAWs do not have access to the supports and services provided for immigrant newcomers and pathways for permanent residence. The exclusion of these workers from such entitlements, including labour mobility, reinforces their precarity, inhibits their sense of belonging, and reflects the stratification built into Canada’s migration regime. This article draws on interviews with 98 MAWs in three migrant‐intensive regions in southwestern Ontario to examine how workers construct and describe support in relation to co‐workers, employers, residents, and community organizations. Drawing on conceptualizations of support as an important vehicle for social connection and inclusion that comprises social and citizenship belonging, we document how the strategies MAWs employ to forge connections are enabled or undermined by Canada’s Temporary Foreign Worker Program, community dynamics, and the broader forces of racialization, gender, and exclusion. This article contributes to the limited scholarship on the support landscape for MAWs, whose experiences foreground the contested nature of belonging and inclusion among migrant populations across smaller cities and rural areas.

“…Recently there has been an increasing focus on the fairness of such migration restrictions. In particular, there is some disagreement as to whether the rules that govern guest workers and temporary labour migrants (hereafter TLMs) are fair, or whether they are instruments of exploitation (Attas, 2000; Stilz, 2010; Lenard and Straehle, 2012; Nuti, 2018; Ottonelli and Torresi, 2019). On the one hand, such systems allow more migrants opportunities to migrate in order to work, thereby increasing their earnings and life choices, and allow host countries to fill gaps in the labour market.…”

Structural Injustice and Labour Migration – From Individual Responsibility to Collective Action

This paper argues that the vast inequalities in access to migration opportunities and treatment of migrants constitute a structural injustice, and that although states are clearly the most powerful agents in migration injustices, individuals also bear a personal responsibility to ameliorate these injustices. The argument builds on Young's theory of structural injustice and critically applies it to labour migration. The paper argues that wealthy migrants and citizens who benefit from migrant labour have a responsibility to contribute towards ameliorating migration injustice on account of their position of privilege, whereas disadvantaged migrants have a responsibility due to their interest in changing their situation. It then considers how people might discharge such an obligation through collective political action, pointing in particular to non-governmental organizations, labour unions, and local government. Finally, the paper addresses the objections that positing personal responsibility for labour migration is overly demanding and that the current labour migration regime is meritocratic and fair. The article concludes by showing how this sort of stance can be seen as interest-driven by privileged groups and argues for the role of disruptive politics in overcoming it.
