  1. Both these guys delivered well the the information needed to be heard. Why these same ministers don’t go and show with all there photo ops them like pop up unannounced.

  2. It’s not just now this has been HAPPENING.YEARS the horrible treatment has been going on. Zamunda will never admit that there is a problem because his pockets get lined nicely. What does he care as long as he is receiving a benefit?
    There are thousands of pictures and documented problems in Canada’s farm workers program.

    Slavery was never abolished! It still exists. All countries especially CARICOM countries who continue to send workers are equally responsible and complacent in the system of slavery.

  3. Look from when workers have been unionized in Jamaica and abroad. Why are farm workers NOT allowed to unionize?

  4. The farm workers have to pay all the taxes like the cetizen and yet not getting any benefit. they need to give back the money they deduct from their pay.

  5. That is y PS Miller is the best Labour Minister Jamaica has ever had..she chat for them she busied her self with their problems and lobbied for their betterment.
    God bless her.

  6. If you don’t respect and treat you people in high regard no one will respect them. Jamaicans overall need to develop a greater sense of pride, we should work just as hard to develop our own country as we do for another just because of money. Yes we don’t have the resources and big money but what if more persons farmed and build to our country this would be different. Sadly after all this is said and done you’ll have persons still lining up to go on these programs. The policies need to change because it’s needed. Also these programs are too political.

  7. I am a farm worker myself and the facts are there to show how we are getting treated I work on a farm one season and one of my friend lose a joint of his finger and the boss did not bring him to the hospital instead the boss call in to book a flight for him to go back to jamaica

  8. This is nothing new. Jamaican farmworkers have been complaining for years about the terrible and inhumane condition they forced to work under in Canada and America, but the Jamaican government did nothing about it. Jamaica needs to invest more in agriculture, and create jobs at home; we have the land.

  9. Farm work is modern days slavery no joke because I can testify to that because Jamaican liason officers sold out there own Jamaican people by plotting wicked acts against Jamaican farm worker and if one man make certain utterance he’s treated less and band from the program and Jamaican liason officers told the boss that if a man not complied to the wicked send him home because 100 man at Jamaica waiting for that one man space so that’s what the boss them used and exploit the farm workers it sad 😥

  10. If this is true the credibility of the minister is questionable and he should consider tabling his resignation
