Taperos finding jobs in Chicago By GEOFF DOUGHERTY, Chicago Tribune
The rise of the taperos, as they are called in Spanish, illustrates the changing nature of the city's building trades, which were once dominated by white ethnic groups.

Their increasing presence at construction sites has encouraged some unions to promote Hispanics into management and forced others to begin printing magazines and membership notices in Spanish.------------------------------------------- posted 6:52 AM :: reference link ::
