The global economy has fueled vast concentrations of wealth that have driven a demand for cheap and flexible labor. Workplace violations such as wage theft, unsafe work environments, and discrimination are widespread in low-wage industries such as retail, restaurants, hospitality, and domestic work, where jobs are often held by immigrants and other vulnerable workers. How and why do these workers, despite enormous barriers, come forward to seek justice, and what happens once they do? Based on extensive fieldwork in Northern California, Gleeson investigates the array of gatekeepers with whom workers must negotiate in the labor standards enforcement bureaucracy and, ultimately, the limited reach of formal legal protections. The author also tracks how workplace injustices--and the arduous process of contesting them--carry long-term effects on their everyday lives. Workers sometimes win, but their chances are precarious at best"--Provided by publisher. 606 $aWork environment$zUnited States 606 $aIndustrial safety$zUnited States 606 $aLabor laws and legislation$zUnited States 606 $aWork environment$zCalifornia, Northern$vCase studies 606 $aWorking class$zCalifornia, Northern$vCase studies 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aamerican labor laws. 610 $aequal employment protection. 610 $aimmigrant workers. 610 $ainequality and power at work. 610 $alabor and employment in the us. 610 $alabor issues in the us. 610 $alabor organization. 610 $arace and ethnicity in low paying jobs. 610 $aunsafe work environments. 610 $avulnerable workers in the us. 610 $awage theft. 610 $aworker organization. 610 $aworker protections. 610 $aworking class issues. 610 $aworking class rights. 610 $aworkplace issues in low wage occupations. 610 $aworkplace issues in the us. 615 0$aWork environment 615 0$aIndustrial safety 615 0$aLabor laws and legislation 615 0$aWork environment 615 0$aWorking class 676 $a344.7301 686 $a347.462$2Moys 700 $aGleeson$b Shannon$f1980-$01022639 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996328039203316 996 $aPrecarious Claims$92429206 997 $aUNISA
