Exploitation of cheap Haitian labour within the Dominican Republic is what has become the outcome for 500,000 to one million of the Haitian workers working on sugar cane plantations. Systemic racism has resulted in marginalization of Haitian migrant workers in the fields of the Dominican Republic. Imagine working 12-15 hour days constantly holding and swinging a machete, carrying cane and loading it on the truck in scorching heat? That is exactly what these workers do and earn very little doing it. They are hard working people who deserve a fair wage and fair working conditions!
