IACHR Hearing on Lack of Workplace Protection for Undocumented WorkersIACHR Hearing on Lack of Workplace Protection for Undocumented Workers
On March 16, the 老澳门开奖结果, the National Employment Law Project, and the University of Pennsylvania鈥檚 Transnational Legal Clinic will testify before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. At issue is the U.S. government鈥檚 failure to ensure that undocumented workers in the United States can access workplace protections. While undocumented workers undertake some of the most dangerous, low-wage jobs in the United States, the patchwork of state labor laws leaves many of these workers vulnerable to exploitation and discrimination, without legal protections when they are injured at work. Moreover, some employers have taken advantage of this situation to report undocumented workers to immigration officers for deportation when they report labor abuses.
