Labour Beat Ep61 features part one of an interview with Dr. Anelyse Weiler (https://anelyseweiler.com), who grew up in the Comox Valley and is now an associate professor in the Sociology department at the University of Victoria.

Dr. Weiler research focuses on decent work, dignified migration, and ecological sustainability. In this first part of our interview, we talk about, among other things, migrant labour in agriculture.

Dr. Weiler also looks at options to protect workers from occupational health and safety hazards. Things such as extreme heat, sexual violence and pesticides. She also studies how both social movements and industry lobbying can shape a broad range of laws and policies, including laws governing animal welfare and climate change.
