The Construction of Migrant Work and Workers by Alberta Legislators, 2000-2011.” Canadian Ethnic Studies, 47(1): Pp
Foster, Jason, and Bob Barnetson. (2015). “The Construction of Migrant Work and Workers by Alberta Legislators, 2000-2011.” Canadian Ethnic Studies, 47(1): pp. 107-131. https://doi.org/10.1353/ces.2015.0009. The Construction of Migrant Work and Workers by Alberta Legislators, 2000-2011 Abstract This paper uses narrative analysis to explore how government members of the Alberta Legislative Assembly (MLAs) “constructed” migrant work and migrant workers in legislature and media statements between 2000 and 2011. Government MLAs asserted that migrant work (1) was economically necessary and (2) posed no threat to Canadian workers. Government MLAs also asserted that international migrant workers (3) had questionable occupational, linguistic or cultural skills and (4) caused negative social and economic impacts in Canada. Taken individually, these narratives appear contradictory, casting migrant work as good but migrant workers as bad. Viewed together, these narratives comprise an effort to dehumanize temporary and permanent international migrant workers. This (sometimes racialized) “othering” of migrant workers justifies migrant workers’ partial citizenship and suppresses criticism of their poor treatment. Keywords: migrant workers, Canada, Alberta, political economy, narrative analysis Word count: 8362 The Construction of Migrant Work and Workers 1 Introduction Like many jurisdictions, the Canadian province of Alberta saw significant growth in its population of international migrant workers—as well as rampant mistreatment of these workers—between 2000 and 2011. Provincial government legislators frequently made demonstrably false statements justifying this growth and discounting this mistreatment (Barnetson & Foster 2013). The Alberta discourse around temporary and permanent international migrant workers hinted at a seeming contradiction: government members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) of Alberta often seemed bullish on migrant work, but critical of migrant workers.
