Day Laborer's Union Creates Buzz in Chicago
by Beth Griffin
Helping People Help Themselves, Issue 1, 2013
The explosion of the service sector of the U.S. economy provides a huge opportunity for low-income immigrant workers, but it also creates abundant temptation for unscrupulous employers to perpetrate wage theft, sexual harassment, and other abuses on employees who have little recourse to prevent it.
Latino Union was founded in 2000 by women immigrants from Central and South America who were employed through temporary labor agencies to clean homes and offices and work in factories and warehouses. Statistically, the Midwest is the worst region in the country for day laborers, who experience wage theft and workplace injuries at higher rates than elsewhere.
