With Labor Rights Week underway through Friday, an initiative between many has begun to spread awareness that all workers in the U.S. are entitled to a safe and fair work environment
SALT LAKE CITY — With Labor Rights Week underway through Friday, an initiative between the United States Department of Labor, the Mexican Embassy, and its consulates has begun to spread awareness that all workers in the United States are entitled to a safe and fair work environment.
"The recollection of crops around the United States depends over 50% on migrant labor, they also are the backbone for the service sector of the economy," said Eduardo Baca, Mexico's Consul General to Utah. "Employers withhold passports or other documents as a way to force workers or pressure them into working more hours," Baca explained."There are cases where people have work visas, but still the contracts aren't being respected, whether it's the hours they were told they were going to work, they don't get paid on time."
"The basic principle behind all the activities we do this week, and throughout the year, and emphasize that notwithstanding any immigration status issues that labor rights are for everybody and if there are abuses, they should be reported," said Baca.
