Taxi Workers Alliance to Join NYC Central Labor Council
with
Bhairavi Desai, Executive Director, and Bill Lindauer, Member,
New York Taxi Workers Alliance
While not defined as employees under the law, the 26,000 mostly immigrant
taxi drivers in NYC have the same problems as other workers such that taxis
are called sweatshops on wheels. And they have the same solution – solidarity.
They have joined hands for many years in the Taxi Workers Alliance which has
been a militant advocate for their rights. Now the NYC Central Labor Council
has reached out to them and the Taxi Workers Alliance plans to affiliate with
the central labor body realizing that the greater our solidarity the great our
strength.
******************************************************
Hugh Win For Westchester Day Laborers In Court!
with Allen Levine, plaintiff's attorney
Day laborers won a big victory when a federal judge found that the
Village of Mamaroneck discriminated against them based on race. The
court found that the Village's actions, including fining contractors
attempting to hire day laborers, closing a hiring site and increasing
police patrols in an area where they congregated, were motivated, at
least in part, by race.
