Happy International Workers’ Day!
Today we celebrate migrant and immigrant workers by marching alongside them and supporting them in their ongoing campaign fights to change their conditions in the workplace and communities. We honor their courage to continue to fight against trafficking, wage theft and all exploitation in the workplace, for their families to be freed from detention, for the basic rights to health care, food, and education, and for the right to live and thrive in one’s homeland without being forced to migrate to survive.
In the words of one caregiver to another about standing up for their rights –
“Fighting wage theft goes deeper than just missing pay checks. It is about dignity, about fairness – because when we demand fairness, we are not asking for too much. We are asking for what is right.
We are not alone in this fight. There are people and organizations ready to support. There is a growing movement that believe caregivers deserve fairness and respect.
Let’s stand firm and support each other. There is power in our voice and there is strength in standing together. It is worth fighting for. Never give up.” – Lorna, caregiver
