In reality, the experiences of workers are far worse than is commonly acknowledged, while employers are not reaping as much benefit as the public might suppose. In her recent book Enduring Work ( https://www.amazon.ca/Enduring-Work-Experiences-Canadas-Temporary/dp/0228016681 ), Catherine Connelly draws on over one hundred interviews with people connected to different aspects of this program, analyzing their experiences from the perspective of organizational behaviour and human resources management. She compares the lived reality of agricultural workers, in-home caregivers, and low- and high-wage workers, showing how and why each group is vulnerable to mistreatment, albeit in different ways. She further explores how employment agencies and immigration consultants contribute to program abuses. Critically, Enduring Work provides the perspectives of employers, distinguishing between the reluctant users of the program who follow the rules and the reckless users who do not. Enduring Work ( https://www.amazon.ca/Enduring-Work-Experiences-Canadas-Temporary/dp/0228016681 ) unpacks the harms within Canada’s Temporary Foreign Worker program and offers strategies to improve it.\n
