摘要
This article analyses undocumented migrant labour organising in a complicated context and site, the Vermont dairy industry, in relation to Tanya Basok's concept of "counter-hegemonic human rights". Taking migrant rights organisation Migrant Justice in Burlington, Vermont as a case study, this work examines migrant labour organising that calls upon notions of human rights for economic migrants in the USA. Migrant Justice works through commodity chain labour organising that transcends the scale of the state, calls on moral geographies of consumption and production, and autonomously redistributes not just capital, but power, from the corporation down to workers. An analysis of literature on migrant human rights in relation to labour organising will lead us to problematise mainstream human rights discourse, explore alternative conceptions of rights, and understand the liberatory components of the "counter-hegemonic" employment of human rights by subversive actors, which may truly hold the potentials that mainstream human rights discourse claims. Este articulo analiza la organizacion de los trabajadores migrantes indocumentados en un contexto y un lugar complicados, la industria lactea de Vermont, en relacion con el concepto de "derechos humanos contrahegemonicos" de Tanya Basok. Tomando como estudio de caso la organizacion de derechos de los migrantes Justicia Migrante en Burlington, Vermont, este trabajo examina la organizacion laboral de los migrantes que apela a nociones de derechos humanos para los migrantes economicos en los EE.UU. Justicia Migrante trabaja a traves de la organizacion laboral en cadenas de productos basicos que trasciende la escala del estado. invoca geografias morales de consumo y produccion, y redistribuye de forma autonoma no solo el capital, sino tambien el poder, desde la corporacion hasta los trabajadores. Un analisis de la literatura sobre los derechos humanos de los migrantes en relacion con la organizacion laboral nos llevara a problematizar el discurso dominante sobre los derechos humanos, explorar concepciones alternativas de derechos y comprender los componentes liberadores del empleo "contrahegemonico" de los derechos humanos por parte de actores subversivos, que realmente puede tener el potencial que afirma el discurso dominante sobre derechos humanos.
