Again, we collaborated with researchers who have started to really bring forward a lot of this research. I think a lot of the time they experience a lot of the same factors that employers are experiencing or that farmers are experiencing, which are the industry pressures that trickle down to them as well. If an employer has to finish harvesting and there's that pressure to get all of the harvest done, those workers will feel the same pressures. There are a lot of similarities. That's why having conversations that connect and identify those similarities would be fruitful.
I also think migrant farm workers experience other stressors as well through their immigration status and their isolation in being in a different country, which we've mentioned as well. I think there are definitely differences and similarities. I think having the opportunity to have different groups understand both the differences and similarities would be really fruitful moving forward.
If an employer really understands some of the pressures that the migrant farm workers are feeling, that relationship may have space to have a bit of empathy and vice versa. A worker who might not really know the employer has a lot of pressures falling down on them might say, “You know he owns the farm, he's well-off,” because in their countries owning a farm would be a completely different experience. In them understanding a bit more about the pressures that employers face, that farmers face, I think the workers would also gain a new perspective.
