THREAD: 1/: I am heartbroken and angry to learn that two migrant workers died of COVID-19 in Ontario in the past week. I have been researching migrant worker health since I began my doctoral research on the topic in 2004. windsorite.ca/2020/06/hospit…
2/: Over this period I have witnessed time and time again as migrant workers' health has been considered an afterthought. Living and working in crowded and often hazardous conditions, migrant workers of colour are treated as disposable and replaceable by the Canadian state.
3/: Migrant worker advocates like @j4mw and @MWACCanada have been raising the rights issues of migrant workers for many years and throughout this pandemic, but who is listening?
1/The recent news events are evidence that we need to be doing more to combat the systemic racism that exists in Canadian society. There is no climate justice without racial justice

Thread: What is Solidariteit? Firstly, it's @afriforum's parent organisation.
It's also a union over 100 years old that was founded to look after white, Afrikaans workers. During Apartheid it ensured unskilled white miners got preferential pay and job security over black ones /1

By the 70s, whites were paid 10 times what blacks were paid for the same mining jobs...
Seems like Solidariteit is still at it, trying to make sure that black people never get a chance in life, not even in sport. /2

If SA only chose players from a tiny pool of privileged whites, it would eliminate competition from players of all races and stifle the need to develop sports in areas that are disadvantaged and underdeveloped – where talent is just waiting to be discovered. /3
