Abstract
"Safe at Work, Unsafe at Home: COVID-19 and Temporary Foreign Workers in Prince Edward Island" is the first report in a series of research projects by the Migrant Workers in the Canadian Maritimes partnership. Using desk research and 15 interviews with migrant workers to explore how COVID-19 has affected their health and safety, "Safe at Work, Unsafe at Home" reveals: Housing and workplace violations; unscrupulous staffing practices; overcrowded and inadequate housing conditions; lack of health coverage and medical insurance; and increased surveillance related to COVID-19 and decreased personal freedoms.
