Tagged: day laborers, New York, protest, reporterPosted on: June 13th, 2007“The Hispanic Resource Centers new hiring site opened yesterday at the Strait Gate Church, but the reporters and protesters vastly outnumbered the day laborers and employers.
As the welcome remarks and angry slogans competed for microphones, a few dozen workers watched warily from across the street and around the corner. Only nine signed into the center; about half already have jobs for the summer but just stopped by to say hello, said Mariana Boneo, HRC executive director.”
