The Day Laborers Edition
(2007-07-18)
(kalw) - The Federal Immigration Bill is dead. But many undocumented workers continue to scrape out a living on U.S. streets as day laborers. We travel to Hayward, where civic leaders consider the controversial creation of a center where day laborers can congregate, learn new skills, and have their rights honored. Also, we talk with Eric Holt-Gimenez, who has spent decades retracing the steps of migrant laborers. © Copyright 2012, kalw
