Unfree Labour?

Is unfree labour only an historical phenomenon, or does this concept accurately capture the conditions and experiences of many migrant and immigrant workers in Canada today? This unique collection foregrounds contemporary organizing strategies and models for labour and migration justice, alongside an in-depth examination of racialized neoliberal migration. This volume also discusses the wide range of initiatives undertaken by migrant and immigrant workers organizing for justice and dignity in Canada and finds that these struggles have not only had significant political, social and economic impacts but also offer important insights for the rethinking and rebuilding of a working-class movement in the twenty-first century.
