  Esteemed historian Dr. Horne joins us for an eye-opening discussion about his new book, "Armed Struggle? Panthers and Communists, Black Nationalists and Liberals in Southern California through the 60s and 70s." This episode dives deep into the intricacies of organizing under capitalism, informed by Dr. Horne's personal experiences with the Black Panther Party. We also revisit his thought-provoking analysis of Washington DC, where the paradox of power and race reveals much about the foundational myths of the United States. Dr. Horne challenges us to rethink the historical narratives that shape our understanding of American history, particularly the events of 1776 and their limited impact on indigenous peoples and enslaved populations. Our conversation does not shy away from the hard truths of America's political landscape. We explore the historical decisions of the NAACP and their relevance to modern activism, the arduous task of campaigning against military spending, and the pressing need for a revitalized labor movement. Dr. Horne discusses "settler colonialism" and unpacks its implications, both historically and in today's context, touching on issues like Cherokee assimilation and class collaboration. We also address the counterrevolution against diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, and the precarious future for undocumented workers should Trump return to office.

In episode #82 of Work Comp Talk, co-founder Eric Farber and Pacific Workers president Bilal Kassem tackle the controversial issue of whether undocumented workers in California are entitled to workers' compensation.  Undocumented workers are indeed entitled to workers' compensation in California, just like any other employee and though the short answer is straightforward, the long answer involves intricate details about employer responsibilities and the treatment of undocumented workers. Employers are legally required to verify the eligibility of their employees to work.  Regardless of a worker's documentation status, as long as they are performing labor for an employer, they are entitled to workers' compensation benefits. Denying undocumented workers their rightful benefits not only harms individuals but undermines the fair treatment of labor across the board. In concluding the episode, Eric and Bilal reflect on the rewarding journey of Pacific Workers and their commitment to advocating for all workers, regardless of their status.  Sponsor:  This episode is sponsored by Pacific Workers, a leading law firm for injured workers.

An estimated 1.1 million undocumented immigrants work in California, with large numbers laboring in low-wage jobs like agriculture, construction, and food service. But none of those workers are eligible for unemployment insurance, even though their wages contribute to the system. That's why workers and advocates have been pushing the state to step in. Senate Bill 227 would use state funds to extend unemployment benefits to undocumented workers: provide unemployed workers $300 per week for 20 weeks. The state legislature passed a similar bill last year, but Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoed it, citing concerns over cost. Will that it happen again?

According to Forbes, over 40% of the US construction workforce is expected to retire over the next decade. The fact is the construction industry faces a workforce shortage and according to Associated Builders and Contractors that shortage is up to 650,000 in 2022. This means every worker is critical including workers that came to our country looking for work. For many installation contractors, migrant workers fill key roles in the operation of their company. But the rules, regulations and liabilities around these practices can be confusing for workers and employers alike.

Labor leader and immigrant rights activist Bert Corona viewed Mexican Americans and Mexican immigrants in the United States, both with and without documentation, as one people without borders, and he understood that their struggles were connected. While other Mexican American labor leaders were campaigning against undocumented workers, Corona fought to shift the opinions of Mexican Americans toward support for the undocumented and helped create a pro-immigrant consciousness among Latinos in the United States. Joining me to help us learn more about the life of Bert Corona is Dr. Eladio B.

Proposals To Aid Undocumented Workers Face Uphill Battle by WSKG News

Rommel H. Ojeda talks with Harry Siegel about the sorry state of the Undocumented Workers Fund. The fund has been riddled with scams targeting workers and their debit benefit cards. The company responsible for the fund's distribution debit cards, Blackhawk, has abdicated all responsibility, leaving some workers without relief while their bills pile up.

When the pandemic brought New York's economy to a shuddering halt in 2020, there was a safety net for workers –if they were US citizens. But over half a million undocumented workers in the state weren't included and faced a sudden loss of income. Strength & Solidarity returns with this close look at the “Fund Excluded Workers”campaign which used both street-level activism and behind-the-scenes advocacy at the state's legislature to win a staggering $2.1bn in pandemic relief for workers without legal status. And in the Coda, queer Malaysian activist Henry Koh reflects on poetry and music as solace for LGBTI people forced to remain closeted by a conservative, religious society.

Taking the first steps in a Construction Injury CastUnderstanding all of the parties involved is the best way to begin approaching a construction injury case. Establish the relationship that the worker has with the job site. Who is the general contractor? Is there a worker's comp or insurance agreement?Example Quote: “It's so important to get started on these cases right away,” says Christina.Common Types of Cases/Injuries in construction.Both construction workers and bystanders are often injured. Accidents involving falls are very common, but also falling debris, forklifts, and other heavy vehicles are often involved in injuries on construction sites.Example Quote: “Construction Sites are—by their nature—dangerous places,” says Burgess, “Things can go wrong, and they can go wrong quickly.”Helpful Regulations and Guides to Reference“The first place you want to go to are the OSHA regulations,” says Burgess. Looking at OSHA regulations and ANSI Standards is the first place to start. Keeping in mind that when an accident is reported to OSHA, they will send a representative to investigate at the site of the incident.“Instruction Manuals & Trade Journals are also great resources,” adds Jack. “You want it to be very simple—who was in the best position to prevent the harm and who had the power to do so.”Frequency of Construction InjuriesConstruction Injuries are very common, and whether or not you have a viable case will depend state to state.“Typically if your client is working and has worker's compensation then they have no recourse against the company” says Burgess. “Find our if there were any third parties onsite.”There is always the possibility of a product malfunction being the cause of the injury.“Unfortunately, a lot of our clients are undocumented workers,” says Jack “and they're really taken advantage of. A lot of them are terrified to even contact an attorney initially.”Most common types of construction site injuries“They're almost always going to be catastrophic,” says Christine. “You're almost always going to have a severe brain injury or some type of spinal injury.” “Helmets are meant to protect against small debris, not catastrophic impact,” adds Jack.Injuries are typically very severe in nature, most often causing permanent harm to the victim.Outlining a discovery plan“If you are not the type of law firm that likes to litigate then I would stay far away from construction cases,” says Jack. Make a list of all the parties involved in the construction site. Then get contractual information to establish the relationships of each party. Then comes the deposition phase, be prepared to take a lot of depositions in these types of cases.“Get as much information as possible at the initial client meeting,” says Christine.  “Checking 911 calls can be helpful” says Jack.Key takeaways: Approach the case by creating a “snapshot” of the construction site Create detailed documentation showing all of the parties involved OSHA & ANSI Regulations are key resources when understanding fault Many victims are undocumented workers Workers comp typically bars you from being able to proceed with the case These are tough, expensive cases. Make sure that the damages justify taking the case on.

Let's Talk New Mexico 5/13 8 am : Some of New Mexico’s immigrant workers are undocumented and often employed in low-paid but essential jobs, such as early childhood education. And, despite the myths to the contrary, they pay taxes! In 2017, undocumented workers paid almost $70 million in New Mexico state taxes and $12 billion to the U.S. in federal taxes, according to the I nstitute on Taxation and Economic Policy . But despite this, they are still not eligible for supports such as food stamps, Medicaid, pandemic stimulus checks, or childcare assistance. On this week’s Let’s Talk New Mexico, we will look at the contributions of immigrant and undocumented childcare workers, and the challenges they face during the pandemic and beyond, as well as the consequences of keeping tax-paying, low-wage, undocumented workers ineligible for basic assistance in New Mexico. We will also discuss how the State's new Early Childhood Education and Care Department plans to support these workers,

Undocumented and formerly incarcerated Americans have been left out of federal pandemic relief payments. New York is home to about half a million undocumented residents, many of whom are essential workers. One year in, they're going on a hunger strike. On Tuesday, March 16th protestors gathered at St. John The Divine in Manhattan on the first day of the "Fast for the Forgotten''. Demonstrators are calling for government relief for New Yorkers passed over by federal pandemic relief. Jessica Fu published a story for The Counter after visiting the strike and speaking with participants and organizers.

After experiencing a “Ratatouille moment” while studying in Spain, the simple flavor explosion of an anchovy-stuffed olive changed Marisel Salazar’s life. Without a clear-cut path, she set out to become a food writer to tell the stories of the people behind the food. More importantly, she dedicated herself to telling stories of undocumented workers in the restaurant scene. When Marisel unexpectedly got laid off from her full-time job, what felt like the scariest moment of her professional life ended up being the biggest blessing. She took the leap and started building her food writing career, one step at a time. After several years of putting herself out there in the publication world, things came full circle and she achieved top-tier status as the go-to Latina food writer in many lifestyle publications, including Insider, Martha Stewart Living and Tasting Table. In her conversation with Sarah, Marisel reminds entrepreneurs that success doesn’t happen overnight — it takes years of training and hard work to achieve a successful career in food writing. As we continue to face the global pandemic, her aspirations to give voice to the voiceless has driven her to create a documentary about the impact coronavirus has had on undocumented restaurant workers and highlight the Restaurant Act of 2020. As their hearts and souls pour out to Marisel, she remains fueled to put Latinx on the map and show they’re worth celebrating not only during National Hispanic Heritage Month, but every day.  Subscribe to GoDaddy: http://bit.ly/GoDaddy-Subscribe Marisel Salazar’s links: http://www.mariselsalazar.com, https://twitter.com/mariselsalazar, https://www.instagram.com/mariselmsalazar  Sarah Funk’s links: http://www.instagram.com/sarahfunky, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbmQns2TtITJIPlTnr1t2og GoDaddy Links: https://www.godaddy.com, https://www.youtube.com/user/godaddy, https://www.instagram.com/godaddy, https://www.facebook.com/godaddy, https://www.twitter.com/godaddy As the company empowering everyday entrepreneurs around the world, GoDaddy gives you all the help and tools you need to grow online.

Food writer Corby Kummer spoke to Boston Public Radio *on Friday about undocumented restaurant workers who are unable to get a stimulus check or file for unemployment. "We need to figure out how to protect undocumented workers and how to get them the kind of social safety nets that they're completely locked out from, even though in order to work, they pay taxes," he said. "They pay umemployment taxes which they're never able to access." A lot of restauranteurs are prioritizing hiring back undocumented workers during reopening, Kummer added. "Because they are the backbone of the restaurant industry, they're the dishwashers and prep cooks," he said. "What are we going to do moving forward to protect these workers?" *Kummer is a *senior editor at The Atlantic*, an award-winning food writer, and a senior lecturer at the Tufts Friedman School of Nutrition and Policy.

As President Trump assailed immigrants as criminals and cracked down on border crossings, the Trump Organization employed scores of undocumented workers at its clubs and golf courses, some for more than a decade. That's according to a year-long Washington Post investigation, which found that undocumented immigrants worked for at least 11 Trump properties as maids, bellhops, cooks and caddies. We'll talk to the Washington Post's Joshua Partlow about what his team uncovered.

Gaby Pacheco who calls herself "an undocumented American" is an immigrant rights leader from Miami, Florida. She has been speaking about her lack of papers since high school. As one of the creators of the Florida-based, youth-led group, Students Working for Equal Rights, she began organizing when she realized she was just one of hundreds of undocumented students in her community. In 2010, she and three friends walked 1,500 miles from Miami to Washington, DC, to bring to light the plight of immigrants in this country, and to urge President Obama to stop the separations of families and deportations of DREAM Act-eligible youth. As political director of the national youth group United We Dream, she spearheaded efforts that led President Obama to announce the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
