Each year, 34,000 workers are recruited in Haiti to work on the plantations with promises of good pay and working conditions. Once there, they discover that their living conditions are terrible and they are not paid enough to even survive (under one dollar per ton of cane cut). They are prevented from leaving the plantations by armed guards. Canadians can put pressure on the Dominican government and on the plantation owners by buying only fair trade sugar and by boycotting DR resorts.
