Justice for Migrant Workers
RSSIn 2006, J4MW BC visited Golden Eagle farms and reported on abuses committed by managers against Mexican farm workers. It would seem that 6 years later Golden Eagle is still not treating their workers right. It is particularly shamefull given that the Aquilini’s are some of the wealthiest people in BC, and with a high public profile that comes from owning the Canucks.

About Justice for Migrant Workers
Justice (justicia in Spanish) for Migrant Workers (J4MW) is a volunteer driven collective committed to organizing with and for migrant farm workers and their families and social movements in their countries of origin. As an autonomous grass-roots community group, we see ourselves as part of the radicalization of the existing labour movement and fully support workers in taking leadership in their own struggle.
