Guestworkers: Stuck at the Bottom.

A reputed think tank found that across the U.S., the wages and working conditions of guest workers are as low as those of undocumented workers. Having legal temporary status does not help them improve their workplace conditions and standard of living. What problems are they facing? Why? What’s been done to protect guest workers from exploitation and retaliation?

Guests: Daniel Costa, Director of Immigration Law and Policy Research, Economic policy Institute, Washington, DC, www.epi.org; Adarely Ponce, Member, Migrant Defense Committee, Hidalgo, Mexico.
