The Future of Labor (Not Good)

At Salon, Josh Eidelson examines how the plight of the guest worker is really the plight of the American worker. (‘”It’s become really, really clear to us,’ said [Saket Soni, the executive director of the National Guestworker Alliance], that ‘what’s at stake is not merely lower wages but the transformation of entire industries, and the disappearance of rights, respect, and a contract. In effect, guest workers are used to push the bottom even further down.’”)
