...Jamaican migrant farm workers in Niagara Region wrote an open letter to Jamaica's Ministry of Labour requesting more support in the face of what they call "systematic slavery," days before a migrant worker died in Norfolk County...

CBC News did not receive a response from the two farms mentioned in the letter about the alleged conditions...
