Latino labor risks rise
“On Monday, a panel that has been examining Latino workplace safety issues will release a report that says Latinos “are getting more seriously injured and we are dying at a higher rate,” says Esther Lopez, deputy chief of staff for labor and professional regulation in the Illinois governor’s office.
The report points to Illinois Trauma Registry figures, which show that the rate of serious workplace injuries suffered by Latinos is twice that of other workers in the state.”
