DESCRIPTION:"Taken for a Ride: Guestworkers in the U.S." Recruited to the U
 nited States on H-2 visas\, guestworkers are subjected to extreme labor ex
 ploitation. Bound to a single employer by the terms of their visas and emb
 roiled in complex and costly recruitment and subcontracting arrangements\,
  guestworkers lack the ability to organize\, collectively bargain and othe
 rwise challenge their working and living conditions. This event takes adva
 ntage of Syracuse's distinction as host to the Great New York State Fair\,
  an event during which\, in 2010\, the conditions faced by guestworkers we
 re brought to light after a food contractor was found guilty of wage theft
  and human trafficking of at least nineteen Mexican guestworkers. The spea
 kers at this event will discuss the political-economy of U.S. guestworker 
 programs\, describe the conditions faced by guestworkers in the seafood pr
 ocessing and fair/carnival industries and highlight innovative local and t
 ransnational forms of organizing and advocacy aimed at improving the worki
 ng conditions faced by these "excluded workers."
