Someone who knows this man well can identify him easily,so they did a bad job protecting his identity
He said he is not going back
Indeed,das why many more would talk but dont trust anyone💯
This man is speaking d truth the minister saying he didn’t see anything let him know to put himself in one of these men shoes it is rough dog life Jamaica minister wise up u blind or what stand up for the Jamaican farm workers this is cruelty
Check out some of the work place in Jamaica it’s not any better they treat works like slave so ever week they need new ones
This is enough motivation for African descent Jamaicans to promote a stable two children family and proper education so Jamaicans can come here to Canada as skilled trades people and educated professionals. These groups can easily get Permanent Residency like me. Farm work is slavery. No Canadians don’t want to do those slavery work not even the new Syrian and Ukrainian refugees here who got asylum. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

Wow. This is heart-rending and a disgrace. No wonder some of them end up with cancer because of being exposed to chemicals. Modern day slavery still in effect. I have seen documentaries on this and the conditions farm workers face as illegal migrants (which is unacceptable) but these people came through the right channels and the government turn such a blind eye bout him tour the farm! Of course as the man said if they know you are going the best foot will be placed forward.
I believe every word he said , black people still has to be running off , of plantations, the minister of labor needs to do better by our people it’s a shame.

Jamaica’s Minister can’t do anything thing. The farm workers have a choice to come or stay in Jamaica. You can’t dictate to a First World G7 country once you are a third world country. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
True talk bro you 💯 hit the nail on the head call a spade a spade ♠️ i live here and heard the news Jamaica 🇯🇲 dont support each other so we can’t unite this is just my too cents
Jah jah am a farm worker i love the US especially my farm kast farm they deal with us good
What this man is saying is 100% correct. This is nothing more than neo colonialism. The minister from Jamaica is not really trying to improve the working conditions. How about they do some surprise inspections like they do with public health?
This is such a troubling situation because many Jamaican’s could benefit from the money but the employers know they are in the power position. Also there’s tons of racism in Canada so the fact that this is happening is not surprising any Black person living here. Agreed that this is slavery in a different form.
It won’t happen lol money run things
Man speaking the truth
This man is talking 100% truth i can testify to that. Some farm you don’t get day off until rain fall and you have to work from day break until night come down and night in can is like 9 pm in the summer time and liason service don’t look out for the Jamaican workers and they’re the one who told the boss that if a man don’t want to work get Reed of him because 100 man in Jamaica waiting for his space smh… this man speaking 100% truth
All he’s saying is 100% TRUTH. My ex-husband use to pick apple and all this gentleman is saying he used to say to me.
@Jhay apple 🍎 is one of the worst crap ever worst when it cold and even a snow out and man still have to go out there….
yes he is speaking the truth!
He’s talking 1000 percent facts I live all of that
Makes my blood boil.😠 Wickedness. Those employers have a day of reckoning. God isn’t sleeping. I applaud these courageous men and those who suffer in silence.❤️❤️ My heart goes out to you all. Our government has work to do! Do it!

Dion everything this man is saying is the truth my husband was a part of the system too so no joke about it
Omg! I feel it 4 this man, he’s telling the truth
TVJ, please post the full documentary/interviews that we saw on TV last night. It gives a better prospective. Thanks!
Canadian and permanent residents work in cold as well. To work in such condition, employers are required to provide safety gears to work in that condition. Also, not all workers in Canada get time and half for holidays work.
All employers are required to provide for their employees a safe working conditions.
Farmers then should get clean houses and proper accommodations. The liason should visit work sites before farmers arrive to confirm all requirements are met by the employers. Abuse can take place, therefore nothing should be taken for granted.
Anyone not receiving time and a half is wuk under di table.
If one works on holidays the law states you are to be paid time and a half.
40 hours is a normal work week, however if you work 44 hours you are paid at a regular rate. Some companies pay 40 and extra 4 hours as over time.
48 hours has to be in writing between employee and employee.
Over that up to 60 companies has to get approval from the government.
Some companies will literally fire you if you go over the 60 hours. One has to monitor their own time. FACT, aa this almost happen to me with a major international company.
So, the govt never thought an announced visit wouldn’t give him the true picture. Investigation 101 you have to show up unannounced and with a group so that they are dispatched to different areas at the same time. Poor is really a crime and a bigger one when our own allow us to be exploited.
It’s a shame that Jamaicans have to be going overseas to do farm work and face abuse and I’m certain, sometimes racism . Shouldn’t have to be so at all. Those farm workers should all be able to find meaningful employment here in Jamaica and earn liveable wages.
What here you talking
This condition exists for many years, and nothing is done to provide a better working condition for the workers. I blame the Jamaican government because they are fully aware of the situation since farm workers have been filing complaints for years. Our government should ensure that our people are treated in a humane manner. But they don’t care about black people. We are even treated bad by other Jamaicans and foreigners in Jamaica. It’s time black people wake up and smell the coffee.
My heart is broken. This should not happen to our Jamaican. We deserve better.
more farm worker should come out just like this man.
This is of a truth. My friend is there now and if the rain falls, he stays home without pay for that day. It’s no fault of theirs the rain fell so something should be done. These workers need better representatives.
It happened in so many different places and different ways but all I have to say you says it all and who feel it knows it 😔
