Five organizations within Mexico and the United States met to investigate the conditions of recruitment and employment of seasonal agricultural workers with H-2A visas: Catholic Relief Services (CRS), Centro Independiente de Trabajadores Agricolas (CITA), Dimensión Pastoral de la Movilidad Humana (DPMH), Justice in Motion (formerly Global Workers Justice Alliance), and United Farm Workers. The project aims to improve employment and working conditions of H-2A farmworkers through trainings directly to migrant workers, developing relationship with key players who work on the issue, an awareness campaign in Mexico regarding the reality of H-2A visas, and engaging both governments to improve their policies through advocacy.
The report extracted information from seven states in Mexico: Baja California, Guanajuato, Guerrero, Oaxaca, San Luis Potosi, Sonora and Veracruz.
