摘要
The article considers the temporary labour migration program in Canada, which catapults workers from the global South into work and wider relations in the global North, in the context of debates swirling around Anglo-American labour law. There is widespread consensus that labour law is experiencing a sustained moment of crisis in the face of neoliberal globalization. Not widely considered is how this crisis relates to temporary labour migration and the global South-North relationship and, in turn, how this relationship may impact emergent approaches tasked with transforming or transcending the field. Critical interventions seeking to confront the southern question within the socio-legal imaginary have gone largely unnoticed by labour law scholars. Transnational labour law may hold potential for an alternative account of the racialized production of unfree migrant labour. But only if its adherents can truly confront the dynamic unfolding through temporary labour migrationthat of the South of the North. ResumeCet article examine le programme de migration temporaire de la main-d'OEuvre au Canada, qui catapulte les travailleurs du Sud global vers le travail et les relations accrus du Nord global a travers le contexte des debats entourant le droit du travail anglo-americain. Il existe un large consensus quant au fait que le droit du travail traverse, actuellement, une crise soutenue face a la mondialisation neoliberale. Or, peu de consideration est accordee a la facon dont cette crise est liee a la migration temporaire de la main-d'OEuvre et a la relation Sud-Nord et comment, a son tour, cette relation peut influer sur les approches emergentes chargees de transformer ou de transcender ce domaine. Les interventions critiques cherchant a confronter la << question du sud >> au sein de l'imaginaire sociojuridique s'averent, d'ailleurs, un champ d'etudes peu considere par les specialistes du droit du travail. Le droit du travail transnational pourrait presenter le potentiel d'une explication alternative a l'egard de la production racialisee du travail migrant non libre, a condition que ceux qui y adherent puissent veritablement s'attaquer a la dynamique se deployant a travers la migration du travail temporaire - celle du << Sud du Nord >>.
