Chinese and Tigrinya translations of OHC’s final report “Stories of Newcomer Workers in Manitoba’s Food Processing Industry” are now available, based on interviews we conducted with 11 workers from the Chinese and Eritrean communities. The report details the migration and work stories of newcomer workers in this industry, as well as their concerns, hopes and dreams. OHC has made 21 recommendations in this report to improve the health and well-being of newcomer workers in the food processing industry.
