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. 410 0$aCitizenship and migration in the Americas. 606 $aDiscrimination in employment$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States 606 $aMinorities$xLegal status, laws, etc$zUnited States 606 $aForeign workers$xLegal status, laws, etc$zUnited States 606 $aLabor unions$xLaw and legislation$zUnited States 606 $aLabor laws and legislation$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDiscrimination in employment$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aMinorities$xLegal status, laws, etc. 615 0$aForeign workers$xLegal status, laws, etc. 615 0$aLabor unions$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aLabor laws and legislation 676 $a344.7301/133 700 $aGarcia$b Ruben J$01055532 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456970403321 996 $aMarginal workers$92489037 997 $aUNINA
