Document Summary
Lecture 16: race", ethnicity, immigration status and employment. Learn about precarious work/employment and its practices in canada and in the world. Show the links between precarious work, race , and migration. Discuss why we need to care about precarious employment. Apply our knowledge to the experiences of (mexican) seasonal workers" in canada. Most likely full time, well paid, secure with benefits. The primary labour market: secure positions that pay people a healthy salary, offers attractive fringe benefits, provides the potential for upward mobility within an organization. The secondary labour market: insecure and temporary jobs, pay workers hourly wages, provides only legally required benefits, rarely offers any training to advance a worker"s position. Capital (employer) -aims to increase profit by lowering labour costs. Neglect the fact that there is an economic relationship here and it benefits the employer. Tension between the two groups of higher paid labour and cheap labour creates an ethnic separation.
