Iron Workers’ win at J.D. Steel reaches Latino workers with key protections and could strengthen rights for 10,000 construction workers By Laureen Lazarovici, America @ Work, AFL-CIO
Workers in the United States—regardless of their job or country of origin—face harassment and intimidation when they try to form unions. Fully 92 percent of private-sector employers, when faced with employees who want to join a union, force workers to attend closed-door meetings to hear anti-union propaganda, according to Cornell University scholar Kate Bronfenbrenner. And during 25 percent of organizing campaigns in the private sector, employers illegally fire workers just because they want to form a union.
But immigrant workers face additional obstacles. For those who are undocumented, employers’ threats of deportation literally can be a matter of life and death.------------------------------------------- posted 11:51 AM :: reference link ::
