Podcasts about migrant workers

Today, we're taking a deep dive into the farewell dinner that La Plaza hosts each year to honor and celebrate the efforts of that year's migrant farm workers.Join me as I find out what it takes to prepare and serve dinner and a party to more than 100 migrant farm workers and their families, to say thanks (and see you next year)!

What happened when the U.S. government tried to replace Mexican farm workers with high school athletes in the 1960s? Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Gustavo Arellano joins Michael to unpack a forgotten federal program called the “A-Team.” Then, listeners from around the country call in with their own hilarious, humbling, and often painful stories of trying to do farm work—and explain why those jobs go unfilled by Americans today. One listener puts it best: “I lasted two days. Not even for the hash.” Original air date 18 August 2025.

First, Donald Trump is under fire for his controversial comments on migrant farmworkers, calling them naturally suited for hard labor while disparaging people in the inner city—criticized as demeaning and insensitive by labor advocates and immigrant rights groups.

Hook: An eventful morning of news, celebrity gossip, health tips, and more on The Rickey Smiley Morning Show. Tune in for laughs, wisdom, and feel-good vibes. Overview: On today’s Rickey Smiley Morning Show Podcast, the headlines cover volatile politics, celebrity conflict, and an unexpected road trip. First, Donald Trump is under fire for his controversial comments on migrant farmworkers, calling them naturally suited for hard labor while disparaging people in the inner city—criticized as demeaning and insensitive by labor advocates and immigrant rights groups. Meanwhile, former NFL legend Shannon Sharpe sparked concern when he jokingly demanded $5,900 from co-host Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson, citing a cash-strapped moment during his “Nightcap” podcast. The exchange comes amid massive legal and financial pressures—including a recent $50 million lawsuit settlement and a new $20 million defamation suit filed against Sharpe and Johnson. On a different vibe entirely, rapper Jeezy shared how he nearly missed his Baltimore show, only to have an Uber driver save the night—driving him 10 hours from South Carolina to arrive just before showtime, earning praise and a special shoutout from Jeezy himself for pulling off the impossible.

Better Innovations, to talk about Taiwan as a home for migrant workers, and decent work in supply chains. After a brief overview of key risks in this area, we touched upon Taiwan's major legislation to date in a global context, and addressed the importance of economic diplomacy for Taiwan – being seen as a responsible global actor in business and human rights. Drawing on our guest's experience as a practitioner, we then explored how Taiwanese suppliers see their role as leaders in improving labour standards. Countering stereotypical associations between businesses and human rights abuses, we investigated the possibilities, limitations and responsibilities that firms perceive for themselves in transitioning to a fairer model of labour recruitment and protection, as well as the role of the 2020 National Action Plan in setting this transition in motion. Finally, we used a regional (Asian) framework of reference to discuss the need for Taiwan's government to provide clear guidelines that could help Taiwanese companies bridge the knowledge gap between existing local legal frameworks and international human rights standards.

Send us a textThe Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 and 21 hit Nepali migrant workers hard. Thousands working in India were blocked from crossing the border into Nepal. Others overseas were laid off and confined to living quarters with little or no food, no money, and no tickets home. We recorded this episode in the midst of that dark period. While it describes the terrible conditions and uncertainty affecting migrants, it is at the same time a good primer on some of the core issues around migration and Nepal.

As President Trump cracks down in the fields on immigration, and an ICE raid in California left one farmworker dead, US Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins says there will be no amnesty for the undocumented. But who will replace those agriculture workers? “Able bodied” Medicaid recipients, according to Rollins. The experiment was tried before. It didn't work.

A mobile Mexican consulate set up in Montpelier to help nationals obtain passports, birth certificates and other official documents. An undocumented farmworker living in Vermont who drove his coworkers to the event discussed the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and his own journey to the U.S.

Working abroad for some Indonesians is currently a realistic option, amid the difficulty of finding a job in the country, and the desire to obtain higher results or income by working abroad. - Bekerja di luar negeri bagi sebagian warga Indonesia, saat ini menjadi pilihan yang realistis, di tengah sulitnya mencari pekerjaan di dalam negeri, dan keinginan untuk memperoleh hasil atau pendapatan yang lebih tinggi dengan bekerja di luar negeri.

This isn't about policy; it's about power. A cabinet secretary's casual suggestion to replace deported farm-workers with able-bodied Medicaid recipients is a chilling glimpse into a heartless agenda.  This isn't just incompetence; it's cruelty dressed up as a solution.  They expect the poor to pick up the slack created by their own inhumane policies.  It's a sick joke, and it's a blatant disregard for human dignity.But it's not just about cheap labor. It's about dismantling the social safety net, brick by brick.  Christian nationalists are using their influence to exploit loopholes and undermine the Johnson Amendment. They're trying to transform churches into political action committees, blurring the lines between faith and fascism.  Pastor Ralph Drollinger, the so-called spiritual advisor to Congress, is preaching a gospel of poverty as punishment.  His twisted interpretation of scripture justifies starving the poor to line the pockets of the wealthy. And who benefits from this? The rich, of course.  Tax cuts for the wealthy are their holy grail, even if it means sacrificing the vulnerable to the altar of greed.  They're betting that you'll be too distracted by culture wars to notice them looting the treasury.  They're selling you a snake oil solution to a problem they created.  Don't fall for it.  This isn't about economics; it's about a systematic dismantling of compassion and justice.  It's time to fight back before it's too late.Full Show Notes and Links UsedSend us a textSupport the showSubscribe to our free newsletterCheck out our MerchFollow us on BlueskyFind us on Twitter(for now) Find us on InstagramFind us on Counter SocialFind us on Mastadon

Send us a textIn this episode of Temperature Check: Coastal Edition, host Natalia Sanchez Loayza shifts the focus inland to explore the profound impact of climate change on North Carolina's farm workers. She speaks with Mario Vargas, coordinator of the North Carolina offices of the Farm Labor Organizing Committee (FLOC) and the Campaign for Migrant Worker Justice (CMWJ).Born in Tamaulipas, Mexico, Vargas began working in the fields at age 12, joining his mother and eight siblings in the seasonal migration circuit that stretched from Florida to Michigan. For 15 years, he picked crops like tomatoes, onions, peaches, apples—and tobacco, one of North Carolina's most demanding and dangerous harvests. Vargas reflects on the harsh realities of farm work—from unpaid wages to threats of deportation—and how those experiences propelled him into organizing. Now, as a leader in migrant labor justice, he sees the effects of climate change accelerating: extreme heat, flooding, and unpredictable growing seasons are disrupting harvest schedules and leaving workers without jobs—or worse, endangering their lives.Vargas shares how workers sleep ten to a trailer and how lack of language access and fear of retaliation compound already dangerous conditions. He shares how he and his team took it upon themselves to translate storm alerts into Spanish and distribute them by text and WhatsApp when Tropical Storm Debbie struck—because they worried no one else was going to do it.10 Facts About Farm Labor and Migrant Workers in North CarolinaNorth Carolina is one of the top agricultural states in the U.S., producing major crops like sweet potatoes, tobacco, cucumbers, and Christmas trees.Over 80,000 farmworkers labor in North Carolina's fields each year, many of whom are seasonal and migrant workers.Roughly 90% of North Carolina's farmworkers are foreign-born, and most are from Mexico and Central America.The majority of farmworkers in NC earn below the poverty line, despite working long hours in physically demanding conditions.More than 40% of North Carolina farmworkers live in substandard housing, often in overcrowded, poorly ventilated trailers or barracks.Tobacco remains one of the most hazardous crops to harvest, exposing workers to heat stress and nicotine poisoning—called “green tobacco sickness.”Farmworkers are excluded from many federal labor protections, including the right to overtime pay and, in many states, collective bargaining.Climate change is shortening harvest windows, making it harder for workers to plan migration routes and secure consistent wages.North Carolina is one of the top states using H-2A guestworker visas, bringing in tens of thousands of temporary agricultural workers annually.Organizations like FLOC play a critical role in advocating for farmworker rights, offering mediation, translation, food assistance, and health information during extreme weather events and public health crises.Support the showwww.shoresides.org

Bongani Bingwa speaks to UK commentator Adam Gilchrist on the World View segment , covering key global developments. Donald Trump has announced a major policy shift by lifting U.S. sanctions on Syria, aiming to re-engage diplomatically with its new President, Ahmed al-Sharaa, a move welcomed by the UN but raising concerns in Israel over Sharaa’s past. In Saudi Arabia, human rights groups are sounding the alarm over preventable deaths among migrant construction workers as the country gears up to host the 2034 World Cup, citing poor safety standards, extreme heat, and inadequate investigations. Meanwhile, a new UK–US trade deal allows more tariff-free beef imports, prompting concerns among British farmers and food safety advocates, despite assurances that hormone-treated beef remains banned. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

If I told you about a 30-year study that has already resulted in 261 research publications, you'd be impressed right?And if I added that the study is based in Chitwan, and co-led by a Nepali, Prof. Dirgha Ghimire? I think you'd be even more enthusiastic. At least I was when I learned about the Chitwan Valley Family Study just a month ago. I'm not sure how I missed it over the past two decades that I've lived here but I'm a firm believer in the adage ‘better late than never'. Before we get to today's episode, did you know that we now have an e-newsletter? If you're curious about what we're working on for future shows, the latest news about migration and Nepal, or you want to share feedback and ideas, I encourage you to sign up now. Researchers at the Chitwan Valley study, based at the University of Michigan in the US, have been contacting members of the same 152 communities for the past three decades to collect key details of their lives: births, deaths, how they're aging, how their children are growing and much, much more. Especially key for our purposes is what happens to them—and their family members—when they migrate. ResourcesChitwan Valley Family StudyTell us how we're doing, or just say hiSupport the showYou can subscribe to Nepal Now for as little as $3 a month.

Season 5: Episode 208In this episode of North American Ag Spotlight, Chrissy Wozniak sits down with Brenda Heymer, owner of Heymer Management Accounting in Amarillo, Texas. With a deep-rooted background in agriculture and over three decades of accounting experience, Brenda shares her passion for helping producers move beyond traditional, tax-based accounting to embrace management accounting rooted in accrual principles. Through a thoughtful and in-depth conversation, Brenda explains how aligning production data with financials gives producers a more accurate view of their cost of production and overall business performance.Chrissy and Brenda discuss the critical need for better financial visibility, especially in a time of rising input costs and uncertain market conditions. Brenda breaks down how management accounting differs from typical bookkeeping—focusing on internal decision-making tools rather than tax returns—and why accrual accounting is essential to track commodity-level performance across production years. She also highlights CenterPoint Accounting for Agriculture, a robust Red Wing Software tool built specifically for ag producers that allows for detailed inventory, allocations, and side-by-side cash and accrual reporting—something QuickBooks simply can't offer.Brenda walks listeners through the conversion process from QuickBooks to CenterPoint, noting how her team goes deep into their clients' data to lay the foundation for better decision-making. She shares real-world examples of how clients have uncovered inefficiencies at specific ranches or crop fields, and how this information helps them project cash flow, streamline operations, and manage risk more effectively. Chrissy and Brenda also talk about the challenges of data overload in modern ag and how Brenda's team helps transform that raw data into usable, actionable insights through personalized meetings and scenario planning.Throughout the episode, Brenda shares not only her technical knowledge but also her heart for agriculture. She challenges producers to step out of their comfort zones and embrace their roles as business owners, encouraging them to build teams and delegate tasks outside their core strengths. Brenda emphasizes that having better information leads to better decisions and that it's okay not to know everything—but vital to get the right help.Whether you're just starting to explore accrual-based accounting or are ready to overhaul your financial systems, Brenda offers sound advice for producers through 2025 and beyond. Her mission is clear: to change agriculture for the better, one accurate report at a time. To learn more about Brenda and her services, visit www.heymermanagement.com.#farm #smartfarming #agricultureNorth American Ag is devoted to highlighting the people & companies in agriculture who impact our industry and help feed the world.

Working Canadians are facing a multitude of issues in 2025.  Between 2023 to 2024, in Ontario alone, one million people used food bank services – a 25 per cent increase from the year before. Canada's housing market is among the most unaffordable in the world. And of course – the latest crisis on everyone's mind – the ongoing trade dispute with the United States.  With a federal election at the end of the month, there's a lot to consider for working Canadians.  This week on rabble radio, labour reporter Gabriela Calugay-Casuga sits down with Deena Ladd, one of the founders and executive director of the Toronto Workers' Action Centre. The two discuss the issues facing working Canadians today, how workers without union support are often more vulnerable to these issues, and how the Workers' Action Centre advocates for fair work for all.   About our guest  Deena Ladd is one of the founders of the Toronto Workers' Action Centre and currently serves as its executive director. Ladd has 30 years of organizing experience. She helped build grassroots campaigns like the Fight for $15 and Fairness campaign. Beyond the Workers' Action Centre, Ladd has also fought for migrant justice through her involvement with the Migrants' Rights Network and the Migrant Workers' Action Centre. The Workers' Action Centre (WAC) is a worker-based organization. They are committed to improving the lives and working conditions of people in low-wage and unstable employment. They believe that the leaders in the fight for decent work should be the workers directly affected by poor working conditions. Workers have firsthand experience of problems at work, and have the best insight into what will bring fairness and dignity to Ontario's workplaces.

Forged in Genocide traces the early history of colonial capitalism in Namibia with a central focus on migrants who came to be key to the economy during and as a result of the German genocide of the Herero and Nama (1904-1908). It posits that Namibia, far from being a colonial backwater of the early 20th century, became highly integrated into the labor flows and economies of West and Southern Africa, and even for a time was one of the most sought-after regions for African migrants because of relatively high wages and numerous opportunities resulting from the war's demographic devastation paired with an economic frenzy following the discovery of diamonds.  In highlighting the life stories of migrants in Namibia from regions as diverse as the Kru coast of Liberia, the Eastern Cape of South Africa, and the Ovambo polities of Northern Namibia, this work integrates micro-history into larger African continental trends. Building off of written sources from migrants themselves and utilising the Namibian Worker Database constructed for this project, this book explores the lives of workers in early colonial Namibia in a way that has hereto not been attempted.

While the migrant workers who participated in the Job Center's volunteer clean up operations are regularly demonized by politicians, they are also busy telling their own stories and crafting their own narratives.

The National Day Laborer Organizing Network (NDLON) which runs the Pasadena Community Job Center, had been preparing for the on-slaught of anti-immigrant policies from the incoming Trump administration.
