Workers Policy Brief |
The UCLA-LOSH Program conducted an ethnographic in-depth study
of 75 immigrant workers in six industries in Southern California
between January and October 2001. The industries chosen were:
day labor, domestic work, garment work, homecare, hotel and
restaurant work. Most of those interviewed -- 90 percent --
worried that they would get injured on the job. The majority
said they had experienced work-related injuries or illnesses,
but only two thirds had reported these to their employers.
Those who did not report gave a variety of reasons for not
doing so, not the least of which was concern that their employer
would retaliate against them.
