Union hires immigrants for job site protests By Richard Ruelas, AZ Central
They stand outside for hours holding up a banner that says, 'Labor dispute.' But Rosa Hernandez and Irma Chavez think their own working conditions are just fine.
Sure, it's hot, there are no breaks and no opportunity to get lunch. But as immigrant workers, they're used to toiling long hours for low pay.
'We've had much harder jobs,' Hernandez, 38, said while leaning on a tall chair along East Van Buren Street.
The two are among dozens of women hired by the Southwest Regional Council of Carpenters to carry out the union's demonstrations. It's sort of an 'outsourcing' of the protest.------------------------------------------- posted 9:35 AM :: reference link ::
