Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract In the series of Floralia Plant Growers Ltd. v. United Food and Commercial Workers Union (2008, 2015, 2016) cases, a group of Mexican farm workers in British Columbia, Canada, were involved in almost a decade of litigation to enforce organizing rights in their workplace. Attempts to limit the organizing included the decertification of their union, blacklisting of union members by the Mexican Consulate in Vancouver, and recruitment of other workforces to replace unionized workers. Many of these claims were strongly contested by the employer. Migrant workers, who often move between work locations and countries, can also challenge traditional methods of trade union mobilizing, as was the case in Floralia Plant Growers. Comparative data from the MWRD across the six jurisdictions explore rates of trade union representation among migrants and compares this with sector-specific trade union data for each jurisdiction to see if union members are under- or overrepresented compared with national averages.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
