More Information on the Webinar:

Together we have fought for the rights of migrant workers around the world. We have witnessed how ineffective laws and regulations facilitate worker abuse by unscrupulous recruiters and employers and limit access to justice across borders.

In a process that began several years ago, Global Workers began a comparative analysis of laws governing the recruitment of foreign workers, focusing on the United States and Canada as countries of employment, as well as the five countries of origin where the Global Workers Defender Network is active. Global Workers Defenders, Aroldo Palacios in Guatemala, GMIES in El Salvador, the Pastoral de Movilidad Humana in Honduras, FETDECH in Nicaragua, as well as Rita Marcela Robles Benitez in Mexico, each contributed an analysis of their respective countries. This collaborative effort yielded “Recruitment Rules: Countries of Origin” and its companion “Recruitment Rules: Countries of Employment.”

The first publication and release of these reports was conducted in Spanish over a series of live events in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Mexico and via online webinar. Now we invite you to join us in the English-version release and webinar.

“Recruitment Rules: Countries of Employment” details the legal framework for international labor recruitment in four common temporary work programs - the United States nonimmigrant H-2A (agricultural) and H-2B (nonagricultural) visas, and the Canadian Temporary Foreign Worker Program and the bilateral Special Program for Agricultural Workers with Mexico and Caribbean nations.

“Recruitment Rules: Countries of Origin” examines the labor recruitment laws, regulations, and protections in five countries of origin -- including El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Mexico -- implicated when workers are recruited for jobs abroad.

Both reports offer recommendations for improving the system.

We hope you will join the webinar next week.
In Peace and Solidarity,
