Where to Experience Brazilian Culture in America

After graduating from edgy institutions, some peeps joined the private sector and then dipped to the UK while others decided to bounce to the UK, level up their skills, and secure a lit job there. 

OMG, like policy makers thought farmers/employers saw migrants as total bosses and valued them as a major part of their crew. But, TBH, most peeps surveyed didn't feel like they were getting the same level of respect and perks as everyone else. Yo, when it comes to contracts and work stuff, the deets might be different for different peeps, but everyone should get the same basic terms and conditions, ya know? It don't matter if you're a farm migrant or a local worker. Farm migrants have, like, a legit right to the same basic terms and conditions as, you know, comparable workers – employees doing the same work in the same workplace. OMG, the respondents are totally not vibing with their work situation. They're unhappy with stuff like employment terms, hours, time off, rights, responsibilities, duties, and pay rate. It's like they're not getting the same perks as everyone else, which is, like, so not cool and totally against the law of equality.

OMG, like research says that migrants are totally taking low-key jobs in agriculture that they're, like, way overqualified for (de Lima and Wright, 2009; Rye, 2014). They got qualifications but they're way more down to do those dirty, tough jobs than local workers. They lowkey flex their grind and struggles for that coin. These findings totally flex on how crucial it is to get why migrants wanna hustle for that bread but get stuck in dead-end gigs. OMG, these findings can totally make people think that migrant farm workers are like, being totally taken advantage of by sketchy recruitment agencies and employers. It's so not cool! A worker can like totally be a victim of exploitation by, like, an unscrupulous farmer and employer who, like, takes unfair advantage of them. It's so not cool, fam. Like, these research peeps were totally sus of pay inequality, even though they were doing the same gig as the locals. It's like, they were putting in the same effort and all, but not getting the same cheddar, ya know? The local workers were getting mad stacks compared to those who were doing the same or similar work in the same place, fam. Although the law says equal pay is a worker's vibe, like, they often don't get that vibe, you know?

Farm migrants as members of the minority protected against discrimination under the Equality Act 2010 have, like, a legit right not to be discriminated against when it comes to pay and job stuff. 

The tea on unfair and unequal pay cases with research participants is that it can totally help them bring a straight-up discrimination claim. They were totally grinding just as hard as the local workers, you know? There were like no legit reasons for the pay differences, but there were like instances of pay inequality based on protected characteristics. OMG, like these incidents can totally trigger claims from cultural capital cuz these workers had mad institutional capital and were straight up skilled and experienced. There were like totally instances of pay inequality for reasons other than gender, ya know? CAB dealt with farm migrants' pay inequality cases and reported that many workers were not happy with job responsibilities, sick days, pay and working hours. Yo, the way research participants dealt with pay inequality based on race and stuff was hella complicated. They had to deal with being paid less, having their wages unfairly cut, broken contracts, not getting proper advice and support, not knowing their rights, and both sides not understanding each other. It was a whole mess, fam. Yet, like, according to equality law, it's the employers' job to make sure that the entitlement thingy doesn't discriminate anyone illegally. Like, TBH, good job vibes totally impact the bond between boss and worker. Rural employers in Scotland be vibin' with migrant workers over local workers, ya know? For them, migrant workers are like, totally reliable and flex, they have a strong work ethic and are all about that hustle (McKay and Winkleman-Gleed, 2006; SER, 2006) and they know how to get things done (de Lima and Wright, 2009:395). Anyway, farmers / employers have been getting called out for how they treat migrant workers and stuff, like their rights and all. I wanna flex that the various peeps (farmers / bosses, recruitment squads, reps from the public, private, and volunteer scenes) gotta be grilled 'bout how they handle migrant farm workers when it comes to hiring, cash flow, and work vibes, plus getting hooked up with stuff like housing, schooling, health, and well-being. 

Cuz like, that's such a major fail has like totally made migrant workers deal with more exploitation at work and therefore they're making more equality claims. 

Yo, reps from the National Farmer Union be sayin' that the vibes between farmers and workers be all good, but like, facts show that migrant workers in the UK be gettin' exploited at work (CAB, 2005; CAS, 2006; CRC, 2007). When someone is like super stressed and hella sus about workplace bullying or when someone gets picked on unfairly and straight up discriminated against, it makes you wonder if there's a diff between how much recognition and protection a worker from the majority culture gets at work compared to how much protection and recognition a worker from a migrant culture gets from their boss. My vibe on equality is like, there shouldn't be any like, unfairness or differences when it comes to sharing out the good stuff (equality). And like, everyone's cultural swag should be recognized and protected, no matter what group they're in (even indigenous and immigrant peeps). This argument lowkey talks about creating separate vibes to make sure things are fair, where all the goods are handed out based on legit criteria. It also lowkey suggests that the cultural clout of peeps can be a legit factor in determining their success and achievements. Like, for real, equal rights to flexin' cultural capital gotta be, like, a major key to my idea of equality, ya know? It's all about that complex equality vibe, inspired by Michael Walzer's distributive justice principle.
