GarciaNew York New York University Pressc20121 online resource (196 p.)Citizenship and migration in the AmericasDescription based upon print version of record.1-4798-2358-9 0-8147-3221-6 Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction : who are the marginal workers? -- Framing workers' rights: the legal and theoretical underpinnings for the protection of marginal workers -- New voices at work : unionized workers at the intersection of race and gender -- Across the borders : how antidiscrimination law fails noncitizens and other marginal workers -- Labor as property : guestworkers at the margins of domestic legal systems -- A global understanding of worker protection.Undocumented and authorized immigrant laborers, female workers, workers of color, guest workers, and unionized workers together compose an enormous and diverse part of the labor force in America. Labor and employment laws are supposed to protect employees from various workplace threats, such as poor wages, bad working conditions, and unfair dismissal. Yet as members of individual groups with minority status, the rights of many of these individuals are often dictated by other types of law, such as constitutional and immigration laws. Worse still, the groups who fall into these cracks in the legal system often do not have the political power necessary to change the laws for better protection.In Marginal Workers, Ruben J. Garcia demonstrates that when it comes to these marginal workers, the sum of the law is less than its parts, and, despite what appears to be a plethora of applicable statutes, marginal workers are frequently lacking in protection. To ameliorate the status of marginal workers, he argues for a new paradigm in worker protection, one based on human freedom and rights.Citizenship and migration in the Americas.Discrimination in employmentLaw and legislationUnited StatesMinoritiesLegal status, laws, etcUnited StatesForeign workersLegal status, laws, etcUnited StatesLabor unionsLaw and legislationUnited StatesLabor laws and legislationUnited StatesElectronic books.Discrimination in employmentLaw and legislationMinoritiesLegal status, laws, etc.Foreign workersLegal status, laws, etc.Labor unionsLaw and legislationLabor laws and legislation344.7301/133Garcia Ruben J1055532MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456970403321Marginal workers2489037UNINA
