Taunts, threats as employer-sanctions law nears – against Hispanic in Arizona
Tagged: Arizona, restaurantPosted on: September 30th, 2007“Businesses that employ Latino workers say they’ve been peppered with complaints of illegal hiring based on racial profiling ever since Gov. Napolitano signed the state’s new employer-sanctions law in July.
The complaints are based on the assumption that employers are violating the sanctions law simply because their workers are Latino or speak Spanish.
The surge in racial profiling is particularly acute in the restaurant industry, where Hispanic employees with direct contact with customers also are being harassed with racial insults and verbal threats. “
