NOTE Organizing in the Shadows: Limits on Union Organization of Undocumented Day Laborers Paige Coomer* ABSTRACT This Note illustrates how the current US labor scheme acts as an impediment to union organization of undocumented day laborers. While the market for these contingent workers grows, so too does the need for worker protection from abuses. However, unions face legal and structural barriers that prevent them from effectively organizing day laborers. Ultimately, these legal and structural barriers show that the US labor scheme as a whole is incapable of effectively responding to the needs of day laborers, and by extension, to the needs of a globalized, migrant workforce. My Note argues that by failing to adapt to changes brought on by globalization, our labor law cannot be harnessed to protect vulnerable day laborers.

    © Copyright 2015 Alexander James Morrow i Laboring for the Day: The Pacific Coast and the Casual Labor Economy, 1919-1933 Alexander James Morrow A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2015 Reading Committee: James N. Gregory, Chair Moon-Ho Jung Ileana Rodriguez Silva Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Department of History ii University of Washington Abstract Laboring for the Day: The Pacific Coast and the Casual Labor Economy, 1919-1933 Alexander James Morrow Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor James Gregory Department of History This dissertation explores the economic and cultural (re)definition of labor and laborers. It traces the growing reliance upon contingent work as the foundation for industrial capitalism along the Pacific Coast; the shaping of urban space according to the demands of workers and capital; the formation of a working class subject through the discourse and social practices of both laborers and intellectuals; and workers’ struggles to improve their circumstances in the face of coercive and onerous conditions. Woven together, these strands reveal the consequences of a regional economy built upon contingent and migratory forms of labor. This workforce was hardly new to the American West, but the Pacific Coast’s reliance upon contingent labor reached its apogee after World War I, drawing hundreds of thousands of young men through far flung circuits of migration that stretched across the Pacific and into Latin America, transforming its largest urban centers and working class demography in the process. The presence of this substantial workforce (itinerant, unattached, and racially heterogeneous) was out step with the expectations of the modern American worker (stable, married, and white), and became the warrant for social investigators, employers, the state, and other workers to sharpen the lines of solidarity and exclusion.

  • Dear Legislator
    Dear Legislator: We, the undersigned organizations, would like to express our support for the DREAM Act of 2009 (H.R. 1751/S.729). We hope that Congress acts quickly to enact this piece of legislation. Each year, approximately 65,000 undocumented students graduate from U.S. high schools. These students, raised as Americans, deserve a chance to become legal residents of the country where they grew up. The DREAM Act will provide a path to legal status for individuals brought to the U.S. as children. Under the DREAM Act, most students with good moral character who came to the U.S. at age 15 or younger and have lived in the U.S. for at least five years before the date of the bill’s enactment would qualify for conditional permanent resident status upon acceptance to college, graduation from a U.S. high school, or being awarded a GED in the U.S. The conditional status will be lifted if the student completes at least two years of college or serves in the military. We urge your support for this important legislation.

  • Immigrant Day Labor Characteristics and Prospects for Employment
    The Center for Comparative Immigration Studies CCIS University of California, San Diego Working on the Margins: Immigrant Day Labor Characteristics and Prospects for Employment By Abel Valenzuela, Jr. University of California, Los Angeles Working Paper 22 May 2000 1 permission of author. Comments are welcomed and can be directed to author at [email protected] I am responsible for all interpretations and s hortcomings found in this article. Working on the Margins: Immigrant Day Labor Characteristics and Prospects for Employment* Abel Valenzuela Jr. This article presents for the first time findings from the Day Labor Survey. Drawing upon 481 randomly surveyed immigrant day workers at 87 hiring sites throughout Southern California, I examine key demographic, social, and labor market characteristics of this burgeoning informal market. The findings suggest that not all day laborers are desperate, bottom of the barrel, recently arrived job seekers. Day laborers are diverse in family structure, recency of arrival, tenure in day work, and human capital. Earnings among day laborers are mixed; hourly rates are higher than federal or state minimum wage ceilings, however this advantage is clearly offset by unstable work patterns. These findings suggest that for a significant number of immigrant day laborers, work in this informal market may be an alternative to work in the low-skill, formal labor market. Day labor work is a burgeoning market in immigrant filled cities and regions (Gearty, 1999; McQuiston, 1999; Visser, 1999). In Southern California, between 15,000 and 20,000 day laborers, spread over 100 hiring sites, exist (Valenzuela, 1999). This market is almost entirely comprised of men, mostly immigrants, who wait patiently on street corners, empty lots, or home- improvement stores every morning to informally exchange labor for the day for individually negotiated wages.

  • Challenging Exploitation and Abuse: a Study of the Day Labor Industry in Cleveland
    Challenging Exploitation and Abuse: A Study of the Day Labor Industry in Cleveland Daniel Kerr Ph.D. candidate in history, Case Western Reserve University Chris Dole Ph.D. candidate in anthropology, Case Western Reserve University September 4, 2001 Report prepared for Cleveland City Council Acknowledgements We would like to thank first and foremost the 77 people who shared their experiences, often times in explicit detail, in spite of the pervasive fear that workers would be retaliated against for collaborating with this project. Secondly, we would like to thank the fifteen volunteers who helped us conduct the interviews: J.E. Avery, Priscilla Bell, Doran Blinderman, Eddie Boyte, Geri Chessler, Roxanne Feldman, Mark Hennigan, Don Messitt, Robert Molchan, Beverley Reed, Stephanie Shelton, Dina Sherman, Lara Wixon, Katie Woznicki, and Pamela Zwolinsky. The many evenings and weekends they spent doing interviews are greatly appreciated by us and the working poor of the city of Cleveland. The assistance David Quintana and Jude Crocker provided in organizing the focus groups was enormously helpful. Brian Davis and Angela Joyce of the Northeast Ohio Coalition for the homeless have been key supporters of this research project from the beginning. They have also provided much needed advice in crafting the questionnaires. Sing Vang and Joe Bercik deserve most of the credit for developing the questionnaires and guidelines for interviewers. Angelo Anderson at the Salvation Army, Sister Corita Ambro at St. Augustines, and Sharon Fields at Bishop Cosgrove Center have all been instrumental to this study by allowing us to conduct interviews in the facilities they oversee. Each of them has recognized the importance of the day labor issue for the client population they serve.
