Students and those interested about migrant worker’s rights and organizing are encouraged to attend a casual coffee and chat with Mostafa Henaway on Wednesday, March 13 at 10:30 am in 108 St. John’s College. Coffee and snacks will be available.
Henaway, a Canadian-born Egyptian, is a long-time community organizer at the Immigrant Workers Centre in Montreal, where he has been organizing for justice for immigrant/migrant workers for over two decades. He is also a researcher and PhD candidate at Concordia University. In his new book, Essential Work, Disposable Workers: Migration, Capitalism and Class, he examines “the massive expansion of precarious work under neoliberalism and how migrant workers are challenging the conditions of their hyper-exploitation through struggles for worker rights and justice.”
