Tagged: day laborers, Kansas City, MissouriPosted on: January 11th, 2007“Latino immigrant day laborers, many of whom lack legal status and are unfamiliar with the English language and their rights under American labor law, are routinely taken advantage of by area contractors, reports the Westside CAN Center.
Hired workers are denied the wages theyve earned on “at least a daily basis,” said Westside CAN Executive Director Lynda Callon, costing individual workers “anything from sixty bucks to thousands of dollars” in withheld wages.”
