IMMIGRATION WORKERS
IMMIGRANTS WORKERS
Immigrants: Often compelled to take the least desirable and
most dangerous jobs.
Such as minimum-wage positions in the meat-packing and garment industries.
Those jobs can lead ergonomic injuries.
Hazardous construction jobs can lead to death.
IMMIGRANT WORKERS BARRIERS
Immigrants may have problems:
• learning about safety due to language barriers.
•legal recourse or assert their rights because of concerns about their immigration status.
Supporters maintain that:
•Immigrants are often isolated from the rest of society.
•Their deaths attract less attention and cause less outrage than the deaths of others.
Illegal immigrant work in bad conditions
Employers are aware of such conditions and exploit them by cutting corners on safety standards.
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS
Safety issues
A fired kill 146 of the 500 women employed.
Because the doors to the factory were blocked so that women would remain in at their sewing maching.
IMMIGRANTS SAFTEY
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
Is a government agency in the Department of Labor to maintain a safe and healthy work environment.
Half of the 22,000 garment factories in the U.S. are sweatshops.
Immigrants work long for extremely low pay.
One-third of those factory violate workplace health and safety laws.
Immigrants And Sweatshops

The huge wave of immigrants that came to the U.S. in the latter 19th rise the numbers of sweatshops.

They were afraid to complain about the conditions because the needed their job.
IMMIGRANTS FATALITIES
OSHA showed a slight decline in work-related fatalities overall.
But an increase among Hispanic workers.
Most of those who died were found to be immigrants.
