Danger Zone: Work and Safety in the U.S.
August 29, 2001
Listen/download helpEvery day, thousands of workers are injured on the job. Immigrant and undocumented workers are particularly susceptible to dangerous conditions and unfair labor practices. On this program, we take a look at workplace safety. We also hear about workers in Mexico and World Bank policies that gut labor protections.
