Dos perfiles de trabajadores temporales chiapanecos en la agroindustria del Valle de Okanagan, Canadá

This study analyzes the temporary migration of two groups of workers from Chiapas mobilized to the agricultural enclave in Canada: a group of workers institutionally recruited by the Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program (SAWP), in contrast to nomadic workers who independently and itinerantly mobilized to work during the harvest seasons. The objective was to contrast the subjectivities and behaviors of each group regarding work environment according to their profile. While the Canadian and Mexican States regulate the program workers through contracts, the nomadic workers with their agency and social capital enter the same country for employment. These differentiating characteristics guided the participant observation, ethnography, and open interviews. The field work was carried out during the summers of 2022 and 2023, the set of results of which allowed us to conclude that both groups of workers are differentiated as disciplinary individuals and performance subjects.
