Laborers wary of plan for worker center- Plainfield, New Jersey
Tagged: New Jersey
Each morning, dozens of men gather on the sidewalk along a three-block stretch of Plainfield’s business district and wait for work. They are immigrants, most of them from Central America, and many of them are here illegally.
When a pickup truck pulls to the curb on West Front Street, its driver will usually signal for two or three men to get in for a landscaping or construction-related job. In winter, the men wait out in the cold, starting around 7 a.m., sometimes for hours. They don’t have ready access to a bathroom and have little protection from the elements.”*
