The Critical Alliance of Worker, Immigrant, and Public Health Advocates
Mortality and Morbidity during Extreme Heat Events and Prevalence of Outdoor Work
Heat is a well-recognized hazard for workers in many outdoor settings, yet few investigations have compared the prevalence of outdoor work at the community level and rates of heat-related mortality and morbidity. This analysis examines whether heat-related health outcomes occur more frequently in communities with higher proportions of residents working in construction, agriculture, and other outdoor industries. Using 2005–2010 data from Los Angel…
The Key Role of Work in Population Health Inequities
A review of the article Work as an Inclusive Part of Population Health Inequities Research and Prevention by Emily Quinn Ahonen, Kaori Fujishiro, Thomas Cunningham and Michael Flynn which appears in the same issue is presented
Implications of Social and Legal Status on Immigrants' Health in Disaster Zones
This commentary highlights how immigrants who are linguistically isolated, have limited social networks, and lack legal immigration status experience unique health risks in disaster zones. Research on immigrants and disasters tends to focus on immigrants with these characteristics who are residents of disaster-affected areas, disaster recovery workers, or both. We review the sparse research literature and provide examples of innovative but underr…
Worker Engagement in the Health and Safety Regulatory Arena under Changing Models of Worker Representation
This paper examines the efforts of a labor-community-university partnership in Southern California to confront violations of workplace health and safety standards by employers of nonunion workers in low-wage jobs. A worker engagement model has opened avenues for workers and worker advocates to participate in the regulatory arena absent union representation. This approach has achieved notable successes to date, including groundbreaking Cal/OSHA ci…
Risk Amid Recovery
After Katrina, the Bush administration suspended Department of Labor workplace regulations throughout the Gulf, a move consistent with their general emphasis on voluntary workplace protection programs rather than government oversight. This approach left many workers in hurricane reconstruction jobs unprotected, especially Latino immigrant day laborers who, facing language barriers and legal constraints, were least able to negotiate workplace safe…
Homecare Worker Organizing in California
This paper examines the challenges facing California homecare workers in their historic struggle to unionize from the 1980s through the 90s. Three inter-related components were critical to their ultimate success: 1) grassroots organizing, 2) changing policy at the state and county level and 3) working in coalition with groups of senior and disabled care recipients. Now that the union repre sents more than 100,000 workers, consolidation of those v…
Teaching Organizing through Workers' Experiences
In order to increase our labor movement's ability to grow, we must strengthen our education programs and link them directly to work-site organizing campaigns. Popular theater, as adapted from the work of Augusto Boal, is a useful tool to strengthen the strategic analysis and organizing skills of workers and organizers. The authors' approach to "problem-solving interventions" is described and illustrated with examples from organizing campaigns
