Well-Being Among Blue-Collar Immigrant Employees CASE STUDY Jay has just immigrated to Canada from the Middle East. He is not fluent in English as English is not his first language. He has left his wife and two kids in the Middle East to come work in Canada so that he can make a better future for his family. This is his first month in Canada and he has found himself a job as a labourer on a dairy farm in Ontario. His job duties are working in the hay fields on the dairy farm. He knows he will eventually have to work with Cattle and use a milking machine on the farm. He has never worked with animals before, but he is willing to learn. He gets paid the minimum wage, works 14 hours a day on the farm with 1 half hour and 1 full hour break, and works 7 days a week. He also gets no benefits from his job. The work is very tiring, and he feels like he should get more breaks, but he is not aware of his legal rights as an employee working at a farm. Jay has heard of certain personal protective equipment (PPE) that should be used on his job, but he has not heard anything from his employer regarding this. There are missing guards on tractors that Jay is expected to operate, and he does not feel very safe. He does not want to bring up the issues with his employer as he is scared that he might get fired for raising concerns or refusing to do this work. He was living with a friend of his, but his new job required him to move to the farm and live in employee housing. However, he is concerned about the security deposit of $3000 that he needs to pay to his employer since he only makes minimum wage, and he will not be able to afford groceries or any other necessities if he spends his pay on this security deposit. He is required to work at this job for at least 2 years to get permanent residence status in Canada which will help him in sponsoring his family to come to Canada. So, he wants to prove himself to be a good worker and continue working on this farm. Given the long hours that Jay works, he finds it very difficult to find time for himself and to talk with his friends and loved ones. Because Jay is not fluent or confident in his English, he finds it difficult to converse with other workers and to make local friends. He is still adjusting to Canadian culture and feels homesick. He is starting to feel that work is consuming his life and is feeling isolated and lonely.
