abstract: 'The coronavirus pandemic of 2020 laid bare how migrant and immigrant
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
workers are ``essential workers{''''} in the critical industries of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
agriculture/farming, meat production, restaurants/hospitality and health
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
care in the United States. In this article, we discuss this demand for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
migrant labor and implications for social work. We argue that a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
labor-focused framework as critical perspective would complement the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rights-based, participatory frameworks that inform social work
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
scholarship and practice with immigrants, together accounting for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
systemic racism, global and national inequality, and discrimination
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
embedded in immigration and social policies and forms of practice. In
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the first place, by recognizing how non-immigrants and immigrants are
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inextricably linked through structural means of production and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
consumption, social workers would develop deeper empathy toward
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
immigrant clients and communities, leading to interactions that are
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
empowering and affirming, and thus effective. Direct practice
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
interventions would be richly informed, as practitioners account for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
immigrants'' work environment, such as difficult work conditions, low
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
wages and lack of benefits, that often impact clients and families. A
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
labor-focused perspective also points to areas of social work advocacy
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and meso/macro practice, those focusing on workers'' rights and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
immigration policy.'
